Canadian Pacific Railway Station, Winnipeg
This, the fourth railway station on this site, was erected in 1904-1905 as part of a new administrative, hotel and passenger complex for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Designed by the prominent Montreal architectural firm of Edward and W. S. Maxwell, and enlarged in 1915, it continued in use as a rail passenger terminal until 1978. Its monumental Beaux-Arts facade, elaborate Tyndall stone decoration and extensive facilities reflected both the inspiration of the railway and Winnipeg's place as the centre of transportation and commerce in early 20th century Western Canada.
