Antiques & Funk (Antiques and Funk) have been selling cool vintage stuff in Winnipeg since 1986
and have been at 474 Main street since 1997.
This building used to have another storey, but it burned off a while ago.
Also I have heard this building was home to Winnipeg’s first photo studio. This needs to be confirmed.
Then Birt’s Saddlery occupied the place for many years.
And there is a small earthen cell in the basement that people say was the place where Louis Riel was kept during his trial.
Though the truth of this is up for debate.
Antiques and Funk, Winnipeg. Notice the Mural by Sarah Riel of Iceland above it.
