- Howdy ya’ll. Welcome back. Today we are going to take a deep dive into some of the oldest Photographs of Manitoba, Canada. Within this Province we have such locations as the city of Winnipeg, and more esoteric yet historically valuable locations like Turtle Mountain (the site of First Nations occupation after the last Ice Age).
Interestingly, even as we’re told Manitoba developed towards the latter end of the 19th century, what we lack throughout all the outstanding buildings that we will look at today are construction photographs of any kind.
Overall, we will look through over 50 detailed and never before seen photographs of Manitoba, with a majority dated to circa 1903 or earlier. Most photographs today come to us directly from the private collections of the Manitoba Historical Society, and subsequent Canadian Architectural forums.
All the while, we will briefly go over the currently accepted narrative for this historically important piece of Canadian North America, while discussing the importance of Manitoba, and the meaning of the name, amongst indigenous groups of the region including the Cree and Sioux. Overall, this was a very informative and revealing video to make, showcasing pieces of history and architecture which I have never seen shared anywhere else before!
I appreciate you all being here, and look forward to your thoughts and ideas in the comment section down below. Please like, share, & subscribe to my channel for more Old World photographs and History content.

Adding in the context of population size in 1870 as being reported to be around 215 people and growing to less than 10k in 1890 you can see a major problem with the size and scale of these amazing buildings. Add in dirt roads and some of the building blocks become unrealistic to move. Of the list of real structures that were built in those times where we see construction images are all made of wood, not stone.
I really don't understand what you kids are thinking???? I guarantee NOT ONE of you have a day of construction experience.
Do you think these structures were built by established populations already there and the current "Narrative" is a lie? And you're mentioning population as 215 so I assume you're questioning who built the building's?
Well there's a big hole in your theory because building's deteriorate fast when not maintained so if built by significant population that left who maintained them for the Europeans to take over.
I'll explain. Large building projects are built by tradesman traveling to projects for work just like the hoover dam. Do you think there was a gian population of people living in the desert that they used to build it? And where did all those tradesman go? BACK HOME!!!!!!
Thanks for focusing on my province and it's capital city. My favorite old building that I don't see you showed was the Gingerbread City Hall, gorgeous old world, long destroyed and replaced with the ugliest of structures. The Minto Armoury is situated near me, so I enjoy biking and checking out its mudflood recessed windows. It has that beautiful red brick.
Winnipeg here
If you've ever been throughout the interior of the Minto armories...that structure is almost megalithic.
@@jeremypaluck4246 university of winnipeg also connects to Hudson Bay all the way to city place most of it not accessible to the public
@@michaeldesousa8483 I recall the tunnels leading from Winnipeg square all the way to the HSC when I was a small child.
Really interesting stuff.
Very cool. Love hearing about other locations in the areas I research to look into even further. I’m glad you found some enjoyability in the old photographs. Definitely will check out the locations you mentioned! Thank you
If you can I'd love to see the oldest footage of Maui..... Im really curious about the structures that may have been lost in the fire ....
Agree!!!
Search “Kingdom of Hawaii”
Your own government doesn’t care. Let Oprah buy it up for the elite. If they are all in one place when shit goes sideways at least we know where to look.
So cool
Winnipeg Manitoba
Is a very interesting city
With many of it suburbs are named after Catholic saints
St vital st James etc
St Boniface another suburb is the largest french
Community outside of the province of Quebec
Huge downtown area
Proportionately larger than other similar sized cities
That titanic exhibition picture on the site of that old hotel is across the street from the NHL hockey area
Which is where I worked as a chef the exact time that titanic exhibition
Was running
I cooked all the first and second class menu items from the actual titanic s original
Menu
Strange I was right their across the street working when that picture was taken
Many years ago indeed
Thanks for the memories and another great video
Image designing the Misericordia hospital in the early years and thinking it needed to have a massive staircase to the entrance for people with limited mobility and basic abilities due to illness. First quarry seems to be at Greyson in late 1800- early 1900's yet many buildings already exist. And, can anyone tell me where they got the red earth to make red bricks from?
Great point about the staircase. It’s always shocking to see buildings with such immense architecture, we sometimes miss out on the little details that add to the anomalous nature of the structure. The Garson Family Quarry appearing simultaneously (late 1800’s) with these buildings seems to indicate either, every building in these photographs is almost brand new, OR the blocks, red bricks, and other materials had either been sourced from much further away, OR possibly, could have already been there, in the form of pre-existing structures. Love this comment friend.
Boyne Valley Brick, it was grey scale that turned red when in the kiln. Pembina hills area.
@@chrisburke2939 Operated from 1901-05. Does this mean that there are no red brick buildings built before 1901 in this area?
@@mathewmartin9803 No it means who ever gave you that date lied. The original city hall had red brick. If you had to guess how old that building is. What would say without researching the date?
St. Boniface. St Vital were cities in thier own right. The Unicity act in the Seventies under mayor Stephen Juba longest serving mayor in the Seventies created one city. The reverb of that took another twenty years to sort out. The old city limits outside of which was provincial responsibility. CoW had its own social services.
Health inspectors for restaurants.
The Greater City of Winnipeg Hydro Electric Company had thier own dams and power generation. Point du Bois, Nelson River.
Purchased 2002 by Manitoba Hydro.
Polo Park Shopping centre mall was a race track.
Rural.
Ashdown Warehouse beautiful archetecture in the exchange district had beautiful mansions west of the city on Roblin.
JH Ashdown donated the land on both sides of the Assiniboine River to become city park.
The gingerbread city Hall that crumbled away before being demolished had a twin which still stands.
St Boniface city Hall. It's a museum on the ground floor.
Nice vid. Love the canadian material, its rare
Because Winnipeg was the great capital city of America!! Massive railroad infrastructure was removed.
Great presentation! thank you, Jarid!
There's a starfort in Manitoba on the shores of Hudson Bay: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Wales_Fort
great footage, I recognize many of the pics and am a native of Manitoba. I always was in awe as a child at the architecture of certain buildings like VIA rail and The Fort Gary Hotel. "The Ledge" Legislative Building with the golden boy has many documentaries about the masonic links all throughout. Many rich families from Britain, France and America saw Winnipeg as the hub to the west and built it quite quick. Along main street, a couple of brothers went frantic on building some of the heritage building hotels, which had been erected in Chicago. For many years one of the nicknames WPG had was Little Chicago. I have a great quest for you, there was a massive arena built around the great lakes that burnt, it was one of the biggest seated venues for hockey to date and the team may have been pro or semi pro. The building was amazing, not sure where that fits in?
neat . I'm born in winnipeg ... Jon levi speculated in one show that winnipeg was one of the 'tartarian' cities shown in quite early explorer's maps because the location lined up . And that first city hall was really over the top , hey ?
"Laying the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple, 1895" shown at 16:16 is odd, because normally the cornerstone is laid at the base (and the corner, obviously!) of a Masonic Temple, yet they appear to be at 1st floor level when laying this one, how strange.
But what is, perhaps, more strange, is that on checking out the Temple on Google Earth, there doesn't appear to be any cornerstone on the building, either at ground level or at 1st floor level?
There is, however, a plaque which was added in, what I could make out, says 1975, but no dated cornerstone which is usually laid when construction begins on any Masonic Temple, could it have been another co-opted building, constructed at an earlier date and just commandeered by the local Masons?
The Temple now appears to be up "For Lease", which it was back in 2011 according to the Manitoba Historical Society website, that's a long time for any building to be empty, but perhaps Manitoba residents can correct me on the foundation stone and whether it is still up for lease or not!
I believe the building is still for lease. They spent a couple years in between cleaning the exterior brickwork. It’s a real beauty. I can’t say as I noticed the cornerstone, but I can’t say I was ever looking for it, either. Lots of haunting claims from when it was a restaurant called mother tuckers, There have been a few restaurants and bars in it over the years since then, but nobody has been able to make a go of it. It’s in a questionable area…
Thank you, sad that it's still empty, a building like that deserves to be used and enjoyed@@Matt-mb5vq
Fascinating stuff sir
Buried buildings at 6:03. Bricked windows at 6:55 😂 They decided they didn't want the moisture after all. Great video ❤
Great work Jarid!!!
Please do more in Canada, especially Eastern Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc.
Great video Jarid. Reminds me of the old buildings that also appear in Quebec and Ontario. Always the same old story of when these amazing buildings were actually built. I do not buy into any of the fictitious narratives. 🥰
So... Who built them and when? You can't just say it's a lie with NOTHING proving an alternative. Pictures of actual cities as history shows them is not providing evidence to rational logical minded people.
Amazing times. ONE LOVE
14:45
Many examples of triangular aesthetic/"greco" columns, etc..., I feel seems inspired by Petra, Jordan stonework.
Another banger video. Thank you for the work.
I think there was a war, at some point, of which the details seem to be missing.
Love!, from Victoria, BC
I love old buildings
If people back then had intended those brick buildings to be hardware and such stores, they wouldnt have hung their signs akwardly but would have integrated them in the design.
I always wonder about the tendency to tear down such solid buildings, seems wasteful- now it’s even more suspect. Lack of maintenance is also a factor, and a choice. I suppose there will always be some people who want to build their own no matter what.
Corruption is a large part of the 'need' to rebuild buildings constantly, but I do think the ones built in a year then smashed down a decade later have something else going on that is either unknown or suppressed and these were what was already here when colonists showed up from Europe.
Manitoba is beautiful, take a look at the legislative building.. amazing!
I've made a video of the one in Edmonton Alberta as well.
Thx
:)
If you come to Manitoba alot of our rural communities have tried hard to preserve alot of historic buildings. Worth taking a day trip around.
Love the Canada edition. Amazing how very weathered, antiquetech-y and just plain old these buildings are. Inheritors. Check out ancient British Columbia , where I am. Start with some banks and post of old. Ie. Vernon Courthouse, armstrong school. We are all under the same spell. Prince Rupert in BC, Turtle mountain in Vernon. It's all significant. Much Love to all
Hi from Ontario. Love BC. Still is but centuries ago even more. Toronto Ontario and other areas in Canada were too but like all else colonialism and modern life sadly replaced so much.
Much appreciated as a manitoban . The history is found in the language . And many people agree that there was a pre civilization .in many ways its tge bottom of old lake agazi ... its very very old ....
I’m Canadian. These images and your Nova Scotia ones are eye opening. Would love to see Quebec esp old Quebec city. So rich in old architecture even still and a history I’ve read diff versions of - official and not. Thank you. Edit: Citadel and some others shared same level of detail incl the hosp’s dome as ones in US. I think there’s Masonic temples across Cda.
Would suggest the Guy Madden film My Winnipeg
Talks about the masonic hall
You should look at Regina, Saskatchewan and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
A few years ago , an academic put out a book about the manitoba legislature , writing that it was full of hermetic symbols ... owing to the group behind it being of the ' order of the golden dawn ' . they had plans for winnipeg being a central railway hub of n.america ! because of its location . a lot of wealth was going there at the time ...
Once the Panama Canal opened the Peg was not a major trading hub anymore.
Jarid can you investigate Espanola Ontario? Even Manitoulin island. There are some anomalous items that kind of stand out. Espanola especially since northern Ontario was supposedly discovered and explored by French Canadian fur traders headed west. I never heard of Spanish settlers, explorers
I’d also suspect Edmonton is very old, check Legislature Building.
I love it....
The 220 mile perimeter highway encircles the capitol city of Winnipeg. Designed for the unconstrained growth anticipated but yet to be realized.
I believe that the author mentioned Manitoba City? No such entity that I’m aware of.
Vibrant magnificent city of clean wind and entrance to the unending northlands.
Well worth the venture, and slightly sadden by my longing to return.
Good job mister
What is in the bricks that cause those buildings to mostly burn down? Or am I a crackpot for asking?
Maybe it's a (jet fuel can't melt steel beams) type of thought (fire can't burn down rock buildings).
D.E.W. Microwave tech.
@@MegaTriumph1 Even back then?
Did aliens use it on us in the early days and humans are just now making their own versions or did humans inherit that tech when exploring space?
Just seems the DEW's back then were more powerful than what we are seeing today.
No matter what just have that blue blanket to cover yourself incase.
Lots of orphans
No mention of
Louis Riel.
Great video, thx! I didn't know the Hudson bay archives were in Manitoba! Now I think I want to see it, but I'm not convinced! 😅
If you're interested with old world Canada, you should look into the west coast. Old maps from the 1700s shows Vancouver island was part of a Chinese colony called Fusang! And then we wonder where they found all their Chinese slaves to build (and/or dig up) the railroad..
Edit to last message: The first quarry is from the Garson family not Greyson
Same here in germany it seems. Living in dortmund and according to the city and historians there are no construction fotos before the year 1920 :D
im from mb. from a rez called norway house mb. norway house has ties to hudson bay and fur trade. traders woud row from york factor to nwh to wpg. we still have the old trading post building standing.
Manitoba legislature is replica of solomon's tower.
Pool of the black star. This is opening of the tower of saturn
I've done a bit of a dive into Vancouver. It may be the most absurd timeline I've seen yet
I've got a video of a 400 year old free energy device that is still operating, it anyone is interested. Links pinned in latest video.
interested
Odd stone window, arch middle of building @time 11:10
yes mudflood windows
There is no city called Manitoba. I think you are referring to Winnipeg.
😇👍
Anyone who has awareness of special magic will recognize its presence in the Whiteshell region.
HEY MAN check out the architecture in SARNIA ONTARIO. besides all the old heritage houses theres 3 churches in particular called the HOLY TRIANGLE or something cuz theyre all about 3 blocks from each other and look like same architectuecture as parliment buildings all across canada in a tincy city of maybe 40,000 today.
SO how or why did setllers supposedly build THREE huge chrucches like this a 120 yrs ago when maybe 5000 people lived in area?
Manitou is a meteorite stolen by mcdougal from Edmonton Alberta.
I'm decent of louis Riel.
Tartaria is Magog according to many Bible commentaries...
Well if you come i can show you some hospitality and around
Winnie the pooh is named after winnipeg
Manitoba is built on starfort
_Manitou = Synchronicity?_
His story, great.. should be more worried about your future…both parties in Washington dc must be held accountable…… they are a bunch of back stabbing thieves, murderers…..
The star fort near Churchill is the most out of place structure in Manitoba
Truly monolithic, and the narrative behind it, is ridiculous.
First
Shame
the music is unbearable
