City of Winnipeg's Historical Buildings Inventory

The City of Winnipeg keeps a inventory of its historic buildings.  These buildings are not on the Heritage Conservation list, but are recognized as structures with historic value. The recent loss of the former Regal Furniture Building on Arlington and Logan (not on inventory) highlights the city's need to keep a better inventory of their history.

The following buildings are missing from the Inventory, and recieve no protection from demolition:

1. Kaye's Auction House (1903-06)
