When was the Coca-Cola Building demolished? It looks like it was quite a nice building and probably fairly prominent because it was a couple blocks west of the Exchange.

Well, the Notre Dame Investment Building was 8 storeys and backed on to the Keewayden and was a bit taller -- so that should allow you to make your estimate.
From my 1928 Winnipeg building photo, it's hard to see the Notre Dame Investment Building as significantly shorter than the Great-West Life Building.

There's also the Great West Permanent Building (not sure if that is the right name - I did this about 10 years ago) on Main Street which is 9 floors plus a substantial mechanical room on top.
