The most famous wave of architecture in Winnipeg is evidenced by the turn-of-the-century buildings in the Exchange District. New visitors to this area are awed by the Chicago-style architecture, with their large picture windows and ornamental cornice detailing. The hundreds of buildings in the 20-block long Exchange are the greatest intact collection of the style, and they are one of the reasons Winnipeg was called the Chicago of the North.
