Two buildings on Bannatyne Avenue in Winnipeg house the Manitoba Medical College. The building at 750 Bannatyne was designed by architect James H. Cadham and built in 1905 while the one at 770 Bannatyne was erected in 1921.
At the entrance to 770 Bannatyne are plaques commemorating the founders of the college, as well as a plaque listing its graduates and students who lost their lives in the North West Rebellion (1885), South African War / Boer War (1900) and the First World War (1914-1918). A tablet for First World War dead was unveiled at a ceremony on 30 April 1922.
