[esquire]

One thing that bugs me about many of Winnipeg's historical skyscrapers is that most of them have prominent unadorned back/side walls. A building like the Union Bank Tower or Confederation would look so much better if there were another building of similar height next to them instead of all that plain brick. Unfortunately, many of them stand alone (like the Union Bank) or next to much shorter neighbours.

I suppose that's one thing I like about the Hotel Fort Garry, it's nicely done on all four sides.
