I know. The rounded corner and (apparently) sandstone facade was truely unique in Winnipeg. That block of Main between Portage and McDermot took such a beating in the last few decades--and for no good reason, either. I mean, other than the TD Centre, which took out the Child's and Nanton buildings (the latter of which my great-grandfather worked at from his arrival to Winnipeg from Glasgow in 1919 to his death in 1950), there is no excuse that anyone can use for the destruction of this row of buildings. At least the Newmac building, Winnipeg's
other McKim, Mead, and White creation, is still standing.
