WP2083 WPG - BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF WINNIPEG (OLD LAW COURTS FROM BROADWAY)

POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Likely between 1904 and 1912 - because the first two buildings on the left are the second Land Titles Building (far left, opened in 1904) and the first Land Titles Building (built in 1881 and demolished around 1912 to make way for the construction of the Law Courts building).

Publisher / Photographer: Lyall Commercial

Notation: Five significant Winnipeg buildings are seen in this image. As mentioned above, the first and second Law Courts buildings are on the middle left side. Slightly behind them and to the right is the original University of Manitoba building (in what is now Memorial Park). To the right of that, the large building with the spire is the old Law Courts building. Facing Kennedy Street, it was built in 1882. The addition on its north side was added in 1984. Lastly, just to the right of the addition, and seen hazily in the distance, are the twin spires of Wesley College (opened in 1896), now the University of Winnipeg.
