A former hospital building at the northwest corner of Salter Street and Pritchard Avenue in Winnipeg was established in 1918 as a private facility with 50 beds. In 1925, it was taken over by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto who converted it into a general hospital with a school of nursing.
In 1926, a three-storey addition measuring 46 feet by 102 feet was designed by local architect Edward Parkinson and constructed by the Sutherland Construction Company at a cost of about $118,560. It added 75 more beds bringing the total to 125.
