200 AVENUE DE LA CATHEDRALE

UNIVERSITÉ DE SAINT-BONIFACE (ST. BONIFACE COLLEGE)

City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings & Resources Committee

Researcher: M. Peterson April 2018

This building embodies the following heritage values as described in the Historical Resources By-law, 55/2014 (consolidated update July 13, 2016):

(a) Opened in 1912 as a seminary, this structure had been an integral part of French language higher education in St. Boniface and Western Canada now achieving full university status;

(b) Now the Université de Saint-Boniface, it is associated with St. Boniface College, the first

and oldest college institution in Western Canada and the centre of post-secondary francophone education in Manitoba;

(c) This building stands as an excellent example of the Neo-Classical or Classical Revival

style applied to a large structure and was designed by noted Montréal architect Joseph-Ovide Turgeon;

(d) Built of clay brick and stone, the 1912 school and its 1924 addition are excellent

examples of the type of school building developed and built during this period; (e) It is a highly conspicuous building within its residential neighbourhood; and (f) The building’s exterior has suffered little alteration.

200 AVENUE DE LA CATHEDRALE – UNIVERSITÉ DE SAINT-BONIFACE (ST. BONIFACE COLLEGE)

The history of education in St. Boniface begins with the arrival of Father (later Bishop) Joseph-

Norbert Provencher (1787-1853), Plate 1, in the Red River Settlement in 1818.1 Sporadic

teaching occurred over the next several years and as was the custom of the time, it focused on

classics-based, religious training. The 1844 arrival of four sisters of Montréal’s Grey Nuns

Order provided another educational resource for Francophones in the area.

Alexandre-Antonin Taché (1823-1894), Plate 2, replaced Provencher at Bishop in 1851 and 1855

officially founded St. Boniface College (Plate 3). In 1871, the Collège de Saint-Boniface was

incorporated; the first college institution in Western Canada and six years later joined with St.

John’s and Manitoba colleges to found the University of Manitoba – although St. Boniface

College maintained full autonomy.2

In 1880, a new school building was completed on Avenue Provencher, an impressive structure

operated by the Jesuits (Society of Jesus)3 after 1885 (Plates 4 and 5). With several large

additions to the original,4 this facility would serve the French and English Catholic population

well into the 20th century with enrollment remaining fairly stable at approximately 300, including

150 boarders.5 Unfortunately, on November 24, 1922, a fire completely destroyed the building,

a teacher and nine students losing their lives (Plate 6).6

approximately 50% in 1855 to 15.5% in 1881 and only 6.7% in 1891. 6 Manitoba Free Press, November 27, 1922, pp. 1 and 8. The small kitchen was the only part of the structure

that survived the fire. It became 607 Rue Langevin and for many years was used as the local CBC French language radio station - CKSB.

2

St. Boniface Archbishop Mgr. Béliveau, recognizing that the diocese had three private schools

and funding was becoming more difficult, chose to relocate the College to an existing building,

rather than rebuild the destroyed facility.

The new home for the college would be in a fine building built behind the Cathedral, on Avenue

de la Cathédrale at the southwest corner of Rue Aulneau. Known as Le Petit Séminaire, it had

been opened in 1912 to provide modern facilities for the religious training of candidates for the

priesthood (Plates 7-10).

STYLE

This building stands as an excellent example of the Neo-Classical or Classical Revival style that

rose to popularity in the early 1900s as a reaction to the picturesqueness of the designs of the late

19th century. Common elements include columns, pediments, capitals and other Greek- and

Roman-based detailing. Designs were usually symmetrical, surfaces were smooth and rooflines

were often flat. Door and window openings were square headed rather than arched.7 Much of

the design work coming out of the Provincial Architects Office in the pre-World War I period

utilized this style, therefore, examples of it are found throughout the province for land titles

buildings, courthouses and other provincial facilities.

Examples in Winnipeg are numerous and include the Thomas Scott Memorial Orange Lodge, 216

Princess Street (completed in 1903), Imperial Bank of Commerce, 441 Main Street (1906), the

Bank of Nova Scotia, 254 Portage Avenue (1910) and the Bank of Montreal, 335 Main Street

(1913). Government buildings also used the style extensively: Provincial Land Titles Building, 433

Broadway (1903-1904), Law Courts Building, 411 Broadway (1912-1916), the Legislative

Building, 450 Broadway (1913-1920) and Powerhouse, 219 Memorial Boulevard (1914).

Institutional examples would include the Administration Buildings at the Manitoba Agricultural

Citizenship, 1991), p. 18.

College, 139 Tuxedo Avenue (1906) and at its Fort Garry Campus (now University of Manitoba),

66 Chancellors Circle (1913).

CONSTRUCTION

The original building measures approximately 54.9 x 15.6 metres and cost of construction in 1911-

1912 was approximately $225,000.8 The three-storey, U-shaped, stone clad structure rests on a

raised stone foundation, 0.9 metres thick9 and was designed with a central block running east with

attached wings at either end. The centre domed cupola rises 40.9 metres above grade and attached

to the east wing (kitchen) was a one-storey ice house and 2- and 3-storey chapel/dormitory

building (Plate 11).

The building suffered through two fires during construction in 1912. The first, on June 26, began in

the dome and damaged the interior of the central portion, which was nearing completion. The

damage was estimated at $50,000.10 The second fire, in August, again damaged part of the central

portion of the building, delaying completion by approximately one month.11

As the institution grew, enrollment expanded and new courses were offered, the original building

was added to on several occasions (see Appendix I for technical information on the original building

and its numerous additions). Shortly after the College moved into the building, an addition at the

rear of the west wing was designed and completed by 1924 (Plates 12 and 13). The addition held

dormitories, study halls and a recreation hall with stage.12 A gymnasium was added in 1955 (Plate

14).

DESIGN

The front (north) façade is clad completely in limestone and is dominated by the pedimented,

grand order, centrally-placed entrance accessed by a wide flight of stairs (Plate 15). It features

oversized bracketing, unfluted attached and unattached Doric Order columns with plain bases

and voluted capitals, arched openings with keystones on the ground floor, rectilinear openings on

the second level and arched openings on the top floor, a complete entablature with frieze with

carved “COLLÈGE UNIVERSITAIRE DE SAINT-BONIFACE” and dentilled pediment with

carved figures and topped by a statue (Plates 16 and 17).13 The remainder of the front façade

features arched window openings on the ground floor, rectilinear openings on the upper two

storeys (with arched pediments above the second floor openings) and slightly projecting sections

at either end finished by pediments with carved figures. The complex roof features a metal-clad

parapet, two ornate towers at the east and west ends (Plate 18) and a central, domed metal clad

cupola (Plate 19).

The east end of the original building is clad in stone and features arched window openings, an

ornately treated circular window opening on the upper level, complete entablature and metal clad

parapet (Plate 20). The visible portions of the west end of the original building show similar

stone cladding and entablature and metal clad parapet, the window openings are a combination

of rectilinear and arched (Plate 21).

The visible portion of the original rear (south) façade features brick walls, rectilinear window

openings and a plainer roof treatment and metal clad parapet (Plate 22).

The oldest addition to the facility was completed on the south end of the west wing of the

original building and continues the stone cladding, fenestration and roof treatments on the north

and west façades while the rear façade is clad in brick and much plainer (Plates 23 and 24).

priests and was installed while the building was still the Junior Seminary.

Other additions have been completed to the original building and most are designed as a modern

interpretation of the original (Plates 25-27).

INTERIOR

According to contemporary accounts, the interior of the original building included a chapel in east

wing of the building (Plate 28) and dormitory space for approximately 100 students.14 The chapel

is one of the more original spaces (Plates 29 and 30).

The 1924 addition included a recreational room where one could find lockers, ping-pong tables,

pool tables, shuffleboard and a one-lane bowling alley in the basement. The main floor was used

as an academic hall which featured a stage (this hall was used by the francophone community at

large). The 2nd and 3rd floors were reserved for the dormitories.15

With additions and changes in curriculum, interior spaces for the 100+ year old structure have

necessarily been altered, modernized and re-organized. Today, the campus is a complex group of

connected buildings and little remains of the original finishes or layout of any of pre-1960 buildings

(Plates 31-35).

INTEGRITY

The building stands on its original site and appears to be in good structural condition. Window

replacement throughout has affected the appearance of the building although there are still many

original details and the overall layout/design has remained unaltered.

STREETSCAPE

The original building, set in a mainly residential section of St. Boniface, is a commanding presence

within its streetscape. Expansion of the complex has increased this presence over time.

On the east side of the building stands a statue of Louis Riel, created by Marcien Lemay and

Etienne Gaboury, moved to this location from the grounds of the Legislative Building amid public

controversy in November 1995 (Plate 36).16

ARCHITECT/CONTRACTORS

The designer of the 1911 building was Montréal architect Joseph-Ovide Turgeon (1875-1933) –

Plate 37. Born in Montreal in 1875, he studied at the Collège de Montréal and then worked in

the offices of Jean-Baptiste Resther et Fils, a well-known local firm. After several years of

collaboration with various architects, Turgeon opened his own practice in 1900, which included

church buildings throughout the province and a wide variety of structures in Montréal. One of

his more noted works was Saint-Édouard Church (1907-1909) – Plates 38 and 39. He was a

member of the Quebec Association of Architects, the Royal Institute of Architectural Canada,

Club Saint-Denis and director of the prestigious Canadian Club. He died in Montréal in 1933.17

This was one of the few known works of Turgeon found outside of the Province of Quebec and

the first Turgeon design evaluated by the Historical Buildings and Resources Committee.

Contractor for the structure was Joseph H. Tremblay Company, a local builder who was also

responsible for the Gauthier Block, 552 Rue Des Meurons (1906); St. Boniface Fire Hall No. 1, 212

Rue Dumoulin (1907); Canadian Northern Railway Freight Sheds, Main Street (The Forks), 1908;

Stock Yards Administration Building and Powerhouse, 780 Marion Street (1912 – demolished).

The Company, which became J.H. Tremblay and Sons with the additions of sons Joseph A. (vice-

president), Joseph D. (superintendent), Joseph P. (secretary-treasurer) and Joseph S. (bookkeeper)

Tremblay,18 also was awarded contracts on the Winnipeg/Shoal Lake Aqueduct (1914-1918).

PERSON/INSTITUTION

The educational institution that was Le Petit Séminaire changed dramatically after the destruction of

St. Boniface College in 1922. Forced to expand with an increase in student population, it built a

modern addition (dormitories and recreation hall) and began advertising its new home (Plate 40).

The institution continued to evolve (Plate 41), reflecting societal changes: women entered the

classroom in 1959, continuing education was introduced in the 1960s and in 1969, the institution

transitioned to a secular administration.19 In 1975, technical and professional programs were

introduced and in 1982, high school courses were transferred out of the school.20

In 2011, provincial legislation created the Université de Saint-Boniface, giving the institution full

university status, independent and continuing its affiliation with the University of Manitoba.21

EVENT

There is no known important historical event connected with this building.

CONTEXT

This structure was originally completed as another of the religious-based, Roman Catholic

educational facilities built in St. Boniface prior to World War I. Transformed after a tragic fire, it

has functioned for nearly 100 years as the centre of Francophone higher education in Manitoba first

as the College and then the University of St. Boniface.

LANDMARK

Its long-time use as the region’s leading Francophone educational institution, the quality of its

design and materials and its scale heighten the St. Boniface College building’s conspicuousness and

its heritage landmark status in the City.
