Historic Sites of Manitoba: Transcona Fire Hall No. 2 (Copeland Street, Winnipeg)

Formerly located at the southeast corner of Copeland Street and Rennie Avenue (formerly Ashland Avenue, no longer a public road) in the Transcona area of Winnipeg, a two-storey wood frame building, was designed by local architect Joseph Alphonse Hudon and built in 1914 at a cost of about $5,000, as Transcona Fire Hall No. 2.

The Fire Hall was used until 1930 when it was closed. The building stood vacant until it was dismantled in the late summer or early fall of 1938. Its materials were recycled in the construction of the Transcona Curling Club at the northeast corner of Oxford Street (now Day Street) at Melrose Avenue.
