Historic Sites of Manitoba: Williamson Block (38 Kate Street, Winnipeg)
This three-storey brick building on Kate Street in Winnipeg was built in 1903 by the construction firm of Davidson Brothers. It had retail space on the main floor and residential apartments on the upper two floors. A 50 foot by 30 foot addition on the rear, designed by George Gaspar Teeter, was built in 1910 by the owners, the Williamson brothers. It added space for eight more apartments.
Formerly a municipally-designated historic building, it was de-listed in 2010.
