Bulman Bros. Handsome Block (1904)

July 9, 1904, page 14 ... the Bulman Bros. block is shown here. I'm a bit confused by the timeline with the Bulman Bros. block as something clearly existed on the site for several years prior to this (see other clippings). Maybe the additional storeys had just been added (actually that is clear from the cutline which I didn't look at closely enough!). In any event, it was all to go up in smoke just 3 months later in one of the biggest fires in Winnipeg's history (fanned by all the printing chemicals). Anyway, I've never seen what this building looked like before ... if it only reached this size in mid-1904 that is probably why as it would have existed only very briefly.
