The Bates Building, at the corner of Albert Street and McDermot Avenue in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, became a locus for artists at some point. Back in the '70s, you were as likely to smell marijuana or hashish in an olfactory admixture with paint thinner, cigarette smoke and saw dust, all overlaid with the screeches of violin practice and the music of the '60s.
It was also still staffed by a elevator operator in those days. Relics of the past.
