A two-storey brick and Tyndall stone structure on Main Street in Carberry, measuring 75 feet by 80 feet, was designed by Winnipeg architect John Woodman and constructed in 1905 for grocer Timothy Dwight Stickle. In its original configuration, the main floor had four retail spaces, one of which was occupied by a branch of the Bank of Hamilton. The northern portion of the second and third floors contained a two-storey assembly hall, measuring 46 feet by 80 feet, known as Victoria Hall, while the southern portion contained a two-storey lodge room, measuring 25 feet by 50 feet for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and a two-storey council chamber room measuring 25 feet by 30 feet.
The building was demolished in the 1930s but the former site is municipally-designated for heritage (2007).
