Doors Open Winnipeg

14th annual May 27 & 28, 2017 Presented by Heritage Winnipeg • www.heritagewinnipeg.com 10 ARTLINGTON STUDIOS & GALLERY (1912) 618 Arlington was built in 1912 by Architect David W.F. Nichols and contractor F. Hinds. Originally the home of Northland Knitting, the building has provided operating space to a variety of manufacturers over the years, most recently Ram Wools, who operated there until the mid-1990s. In 2010, John Hunsberger purchased the building with a vision of transforming it into unique artists' studios. Using reclaimed materials and a creative approach to renovation, the historic building has been completely revitalized. With 21 studios and more to come as the fourth floor is developed, ARTlington provides beautiful workspaces for more than 30 diverse artists. There will be a group art show on the second floor with work from artists in the building. UKRAINIAN LABOUR TEMPLE (1918-1919) The Labour Temple is the headquarters of the Winnipeg branch and the national offices of the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians, a progressive organization which offers cultural, social and educational activities. Constructed in 1918-19, it is the first and largest Ukrainian Labour Temple in Canada, built by volunteer labour and financed by donations. Built to a Neo-Classical design prepared by Robert E. Davies of Winnipeg, the Labour Temple originally contained an auditorium and balcony to seat 1,000 people, as well as classrooms, library and printshop. It was a focus for Ukrainian culture and worker and farmer political activism and is the only surviving labour hall associated with the events of the Winnipeg General Strike. The Labour Temple holds heritage designations from all three levels of government. The building and organization are celebrating their centennial locally and nationally from 2017-2020. Guided tours of the building will be available for visitors. A perogy lunch and other refreshments will be available for purchase. Performances: 1 PM – Festival Choir 2 PM – Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra 3 PM – Yunist Dance Ensemble & AUUC School of Folk Dance CRESCENT FORT ROUGE UNITED CHURCH (1911) * NEW * Crescent Fort Rouge United Church has stood in the heart of the Osborne Village since 1911. Designed by J.H.G. Russell in the Romanesque style, the interior reflects its Methodist roots with curved pews arranged in a horseshoe shape. The sanctuary is one of Winnipeg's acoustic gems, a popular venue for concerts and festivals. The stunning stained glass windows and warm oak woodwork offer a sense of harmony and intimacy. Some have described the sensation that the building gives a hug. The newly reconditioned 1911 Casavant Frères pipe organ is one of the finest of its type in Canada. This active congregation welcomes you. MASONIC MEMORIAL TEMPLE (1969) The Temple will feature displays from the Masonic Family of Manitoba and guided tours of the temple with special guests like George Washington and King Edward VII. Tours begin every hour in the main foyer and end with a visit inside a Masonic Lodge room. All ages are welcome to come and discover the mysteries of Freemasonry! MINTO ARMOURY (1913-1915) * NEW * Designed by Chief Dominion Architect David Ewart, west end Winnipeg's Minto Armoury was completed in 1915. The fortress motif building is an example of Tudor Revival architecture with square corner towers and an arched entrance way. The 155,136 square foot structure comprises a concrete foundation, brick and steel frame walls, as well as concrete and wood floors. The roof, originally made of metal, tar and gravel, was destroyed in a fire on January 22, 1956. The rebuilt roof changed the profile of the building somewhat. Ten militia units and a headquarters occupied the building at that time. PARISH CHURCH OF ST. LUKE (1905) St. Luke's began in 1889 as a Sunday School provided by Holy Trinity Church. The present building, which was constructed in 1904 and enlarged in 1910, is an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture. The interior contains a large pipe organ, beautiful stained glass windows, and wood carvings by noted craftsmen and artists. The tower features a fine chime of eight bells. In 1914, the Church House was built to accommodate the Sunday School and community activities. There will be guided tours as required for those that are interested. ÉGLISE SAINT-NORBERT - ST. NORBERT CATHOLIC CHURCH (1937) Built in 1883, the church that once stood here was destroyed by fire in 1929. The current church was built on the ruins and is home to a restored 1906 organ from Sacré-Coeur Parish in Winnipeg. CHAPELLE NOTRE-DAME-DU-BON SECOURS A former priest of Saint-Norbert, Father Noël Ritchot, played a key role in the events leading to the creation of Manitoba. Sent to Ottawa by Louis Riel, he successfully negotiated the terms of Manitoba's entrance into the Canadian Federation. Father Ritchot built the chapel in fulfillment of a promise if the political crisis could be resolved without bloodshed. The chapel is decorated by frescoes from Constantin Tauffenbach with the ceiling restored by the Franco-Manitoban artiste Robert Freynet in 1994. FIRST UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CHURCH OF WINNIPEG (1912) The Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2016 and has been active in a variety of Winnipeg locations through the years. Now located at 503 Wellington Crescent, the church was originally built as the home of the local Managing Director of the John Deere Plow Company. The architects were Ross and Macfarlane, a Montreal firm that also designed the Hotel Fort Garry. The ornate fireplace in the living room and the mahogany wood staircase in the central hallway are two of the most distinguishing features of this home. In the late 1920's, it was sold to W.P. Riley and then again in 1955 to Joseph Harris of Canada Packers. The newer sanctuary adjoins the house where the once stately carriage building was previously located. Designed by Prairie Architects, the new sanctuary opened in 2001 after much work and sweat equity by members. CORNISH PUBLIC LIBRARY (1915) Built in 1915, the Cornish Library retains many original historic features – while still providing the modern services of today's public libraries. Famed suffragist Nellie McClung was a prominent user of the library and gave many lectures in the lower level. Join us at 2pm for an hour-long talk on the women's suffrage movement by Linda McDowell of the Nellie McClung Foundation. A craft station and games are also on the lower level for families to enjoy. Drop in for a guided tour and learn more about this vibrant community resource! 618 Arlington Street Saturday: 11:00am – 5:00pm Sunday: 11:00am – 5:00pm t f 591 Pritchard Avenue Sunday: 11:00am - 5:00pm t f 525 Wardlaw Avenue Saturday: 11:00am – 5:00pm t ; 420 Corydon Avenue Sunday: 12:00pm – 3:00pm t f ;3 969 St. Matthews Ave Saturday: 11:00pm – 5:00pm t ;3 130 Nassau Street North Saturday: 11:00am – 5:00pm Sunday: 12:00pm – 4:00pm t ;3 70 Rue Saint-Pierre Sunday: 1:00pm – 5:00pm t 3 603 Wellington Crescent Saturday: 11:00am – 4:00pm ;3 20 West Gate Saturday: 10:00am – 5:00pm t NORTH WINNIPEG AROUND TOWN
