Historic Winnipeg building is finally pumped up and ready to go
The James Avenue Pumping Station was ready to be wrecked. A 1906 yellow brick pile along Winnipeg’s Red River, half-filled with ancient machinery, the building had outwitted more than a dozen developers whose plans to remake it had failed.
Then local architects came up with a better idea. In 2015, Winnipeg’s 5468796 Architecture took a hard look at the city-owned building and discovered its capacity to hold more space and to be remade for the future.
