- Select movie clips from the Provincial Archives of Manitoba. Shows the streets of Winnipeg circa 1920 -1950 and up, with streetcars and traffic. Downtown, Portage and Main are shown.This clip is slightly shorter, and has music with it.

I'm in awe, back then all the old buildings are new and Winnipeg was considered little Chicago. No wonder the city wants to restore and keep all the old buildings.
veryevilnip
Wasn't it MooseJaw that was concerned little Chicago?
man this is pretty cool. Lots of winnipeg downtown, especially main street north is almost unchanged from the ealry 20th century or so,
thx for the clips
Wonderful to see all of the architecture and the streets and roads. The image of the parliament building and the trolleys electric cables above the street was really fascinating. I vaguely remember seeing it as a child. Good memories, looking down Portage Avenue and seeing The Hudson Bay Company which was built in 1926 and a shot of all the old buildings that I remember culminating which Eaton's and the Bank of Montreal. Cool!
I didn't realize the first clip is of Portage & Main until I saw the Paris Bldg.
That corner's gone through alot of change!
MAN...INCREDABLE....NOW I MUST TAKE A DRINK FROM THE RED.....SINCE IT'S A COUPLE BLOCKS EAST OF ME......WE'LL SEE IF I RETURN FOR ANOTHER........WE'LL SEE.....
What was that building that used to be where Memorial Park is?🙃
I thought the drivers, peds and bikes were bad nowadays.... they were freakin crazy 90 years ago!! Lmao
Funny how people just walk into traffic to cross the street seemingly without looking. The cars don't seem to be going too fast but still looks risky. I wonder how often pedestrians would get hit.
We've been lied to for centuries by the powers that shouldn't be. It's time to change that.
So much more European then.
