Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. James Fire Hall (200 Berry Street, Winnipeg)Designed by Winnipeg architect Alexander D. Melville and built during the summer of 1912 for the Rural Municipality of Assiniboia, this two-storey brick structure was also used for a time as a police station. The building became Fire Hall No. 11 after the formation of Unicity in 1972. It was vacated in 2013 when a new fire hall was constructed nearby, on Portage Avenue, and sold to a private owner in early 2014. Plans call for it to be renovated into a single- or multi-family residence.
