Historic Sites of Manitoba: Pasadena Apartments (220 Hugo Street North, Winnipeg)

This three-storey brick block at the northwest corner of Hugo Street North and McMillan Avenue in Winnipeg was designed by local architect John Samuel Hooper and built in 1912 by contractor (and owner) Thomas Sharpe at a cost of about $65,000. The 100 feet by 116 feet structure contained 22 apartments in its original configuration. Sharpe resided in his block to the end of his life, after which it was held by his estate until 1949 then sold.

The building, now reconfigured to contain 28 apartments, is a municipally-designated historic site.
