Historic Sites of Manitoba: Peck Building (33 Princess Street, Winnipeg)In 1893, merchant John W. Peck commissioned local architect Charles Henry Wheeler to design a four-storey warehouse for his Montreal-based clothing business, to be built at the corner of Notre Dame Avenue and Princess Street. The next year, the Peck firm occupied the larger southern portion of the building that fronted on Notre Dame while O’Loughlin Brothers Stationers occupied the smaller northern part. In 1907, architect John Danley Atchison prepared plans for two additional floors, built by the construction firm of Carter-Halls-Aldinger. Alterations in 1929 were carried out by W. A. Irish and Company. The Peck Company moved out in the early 1930s. Since then, the building has been occupied by a variety of businesses. It became a municipally-designated historic building in 1984.
