Historic Sites of Manitoba: Union Bank Building / Royal Bank Building (646 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg)This two-storey brick building at the southeast corner of Logan Avenue and Sherbrook Street (formerly Nena Street) in Winnipeg, measuring 25 feet by 50 feet, was built in 1910 as a branch for the Union Bank of Canada. It was designed by local architects Lewis H. Jordan and Walter Percy Over and built by contractor William Horner at a cost of about $10,000. The Union Bank occupied this building from 1910 to 1925. Following the 1925 merger of the Union Bank with the Royal Bank, it operated as a branch of the Royal Bank of Canada from 1925 until closing in 1939. It was occupied at the time of a 2021 site visit by the Sunshine House community drop-in and resource centre.
