Historic Sites of Manitoba: Winnipeg Police Court (223 James Avenue, Winnipeg)Built in 1883 at the corner of James Avenue and King Street, on a design by the architects Barber and Barber, this two-storey brick building contained 18 jail cells adjacent to a large courtroom on the main floor, with offices for court officials on the second floor, and a full attic used as a dormitory for police officers. Renovations in 1893 were overseen by Charles Burgess. In 1908, when a new police station opened on Rupert Street, this building was renovated into municipal offices on a design by architect John D. Atchison. Designated in December 1983 as a municipal historic site, it was delisted in August 1986.
