Historic Sites of Manitoba: La Claire Hall Apartments / Windsor Hotel (187 Garry Street, Winnipeg)
This three-storey brick building on Garry Street in Winnipeg was constructed in 1903 by contractors Arthur Chadwick Waller and ? Howell. Known initially as the La Claire [Le Claire] Hall Apartments, it was described as a “magnificent new facility ... designed by the owner to satisfy the most finicky tastes of our clients.” By 1930, it had been converted to a hotel and the name had changed to the Windsor Hotel, with over $100,000 being spent on renovations.
