Historic Sites of Manitoba: Arts Building / Tier Building (173 Dafoe Road, Winnipeg)This three-storey brick building on the Fort Garry Campus of the University of Manitoba was designed by architects A. A. Stoughton and Gilbert Parfitt, and built by the Claydon Brothers Construction Company betwen 1931 and 1932 to house teaching and research in the Arts. It was the first building on campus to depart from the red-brick Georgian architectural style that was prevalent in the 1930s. Stoughton and his students drew up the construction plans that were influenced by the Collegiate Gothic style, and used Manitoba limestone for its exterior with marble for the interior. It was later renamed the Tier Building to commemorate professor William Tier.
