Red Cross Convalescent Home/ Aquatic Club 1911

In August of 1910, the Winnipeg Beach Club voted to spend $5000.00 to build a clubhouse. It was built on stilts on the south side of the harbour, across from the government pier. It was taken over during World War I for the care of wounded soldiers. In 1936, Lieutenant-Governor W.J. Tupper officiated at its reincarnation as the Aquatic Club. It served as a social club for a restricted membership and their guests.
