Don't forget to look up when you walk through Winnipeg's Exchange District at some of the most incredible and exquisite buildings. The District is located in the heart of Winnipeg on Portage and Main Avenue. This 20 block area is a field of turn of the century buildings with gorgeous detail and architectural design. These buildings range from offices, restaurants, factory warehouses and boutiques.

This video details the Winnipeg Exchange District and takes you on a guided tour with host George Siamandas, one of Winnipeg's preservationists. You'll travel through some of the most unique buildings on the prairie and even take a look at some remodeling taking place. You'll hear what some of the building owners have to say about owning such an incredible work of art.
