New Parliament Buildings Siding Prize Awarded for Winnipeg Design
Mr F W Symon of Liverpool wins the first prize of 10000 in the Winnipeg new parliament building competition. Four other architects receive 2000 each as incentives. The design centers on a 40 acre site bordered by Assiniboine River Kennedy street Osborne and Broadway. Manitoba stone and on site sourcing are emphasized. The layout places legislative chambers on the ground floor with executive offices above and basement storage and archives. A special note on St Catherine lacrosse team and Chamberlains remedies appears in the same notice.
