25 Electric Railway Chambers Building in Winnipeg, Canada

The blocks near the intersection of Portage Avenue and Main Street are the central business district of Winnipeg called the Exchange District. But until the late 1800s, this area was a muddy path leading toward the trading post on the rivers. In the early 20th century, there was a commercial construction boom. The buildings included early skyscrapers with a Sullivanesque Chicago Style design. An elegant example is the Electric Railway Chambers Building. The Chambres de Notre Dame was built at 213 Notre Dame Avenue in 1913. The highly decorative terra cotta façade still glistens in the sun.
