Access to the roof requires climbing a flight of stairs. There is a lift to the lobby.
Join us for an architectural tour of Artspace, the Gault Building, including a visit to the roof for a wonderful view of the Exchange District.

The Gault Building is a good example of a Richardsonian Romanesque-style warehouse at a key intersection in Winnipeg's Exchange District, a national historic site. The substantial masonry structure, designed by George Browne to accommodate the western expansion of Montreal dry goods wholesaler A.F. Gault and Co., was among the first large warehouses built in response to Winnipeg's rise as a regional distribution centre. 

The landmark, which, with the annex, fills nearly half a city block, physically anchors three important streetscapes and functionally retains a prominent role as an arts centre containing studios, galleries, offices and a theatre.
