The Bay, Downtown Winnipeg, Department store in Downtown Winnipeg, Canada.
The six-floor Beaux-Arts department store features grand stone columns, decorative elements, and substantial display windows across its limestone exterior.
The Hudson's Bay Company commissioned architects Ernest Barott and Gordon Home Blackader to design this retail establishment, which opened its doors in 1926.
The building represents the transformation of Hudson's Bay Company from a fur trading enterprise into a major retail establishment in Canadian cities.
The structure connects to Winnipeg's skywalk system, allowing visitors to access neighboring buildings while protected from weather conditions.
The construction required 150,000 tons of earth removal, employing 300 workers, 120 horse teams, and two steam shovels to establish the foundation.
