Historic Winnipeg North West Travellers' Building 1915 This structure was built by R.J. Inglis, military tailor. Two sections were added later. In 1945 the building was acquired by The Travellers' Association, organized in Winnipeg in 1882. The "Fairytale Facade" of imported Terra Cotta with excellent craftmanship and interesting detail is a fine example of architecture of a bygone period. Plaque gift of John McWilliams, N.W.C.T.A.
