The Exchange District
The Exchange District National Historic Site preserves turn-of-the-century commercial buildings. City documentation connects its warehouses and commercial buildings to the rail lines and wheat trade that shaped Winnipeg before freight changes and falling wheat prices slowed the district’s growth after 1920.

How to read the heritage record
