Although Winnipeg is a rather young city, it has some older
interesting buildings the appearance of which was apparently influenced by
the architecture of the countries from which immigrants had come here. This
retired firehall on the Talbot Avenue, which now serves as a club for kids,
reminds me somewhat of Italy. Such old firehalls can be found throughout Winnipeg.

Just a few blocks away one can find this monumental mural on the building of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Association of Manitoba.
The tall building in the background is a slowly decaying abandoned flour mill, even more
damaged in a fire since this picture was taken.
