Donald H. Bain Building
1899
This building housed one of the oldest grocery brokerages in western Canada. The three-storey portion of this structure was built for Edward Nicholson who, together with his partner Donald H. Bain, did so well in the wholesale grocery business that, by 1920, they had moved to the five-storey building as well.
