History / Biographical

The Prince Edward Hotel was located on the south side of Princess Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets. Completed in 1912, the Prince Eddy opened with a charity ball on June 1, 1912. The site, occupied by the Salvation Army Barracks, was purchased in 1907 by the Canadian Northern Railway, later part of the Canadian National Railway. Designed by Winnipeg architects Pratt & Ross, the Prince Eddy was a six storey brick structure built of reinforced concrete, with walls of Tyndall limestone and Roman brick. Connected to the hotel on the south was the railway terminus, which housed offices and waiting rooms. Both the hotel and station were demolished in 1980.
