Winnipeg Free Press Archives Time Building Fire (10) June 11, 1954 Part of the front wall of the Edwards block, gutted by fire, is sent crashing- to the ground' as three crane trucks with thousands of feet of steel cable tugged at its girders. Hundreds of onlookers pushed their way past police lines on Portage avenue to get a closer look at the wrecking crew's work. As the building fell, road, and pavement shuddered under the impact. fparchive
