After it was built in 1936, the first occupant was William Osler, of the noted Osler Hammond and Nanton investment firm. Others were William Palk, a lawyer with Pitblado and Hoskins, and John D. Perrin, of the family who formerly owned San Antonio Gold Mines at Bissett and the former owner of the Fort Garry Hotel.
