This one-storey brick building at the end of Morley Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 84 feet by 111 feet, was built between late 1920 and early 1921 by the construction firm of Wallace and Akins as a garage and laundry building for the Winnipeg Municipal Hospital at a cost of about $45,130.
Its use ended in 1970 but it remains the oldest structure on the hospital grounds.
