This two-storey brick building on Fort Street in Winnipeg, measuring 48 feet by 125 feet, was built to support the mail order and catalogue sales business of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
By the time of a 2025 site visit, the building has been renovated extensively from its original appearance and only the east wall of the original building was visible.
