Date: Posted August 7, 1912.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: So far, this is the only image of St. James Park that I have run across.

The City of Winnipeg only began purchasing lands for public parks in 1893. In 1894, 6 acres of land at Portage Avenue and Home Street were purchased for the site of St. James Park. In 1966 it was renamed Vimy Ridge Memorial Park.
