One of the characteristic Edwardian buildings that make Winnipeg’s Exchange District a national
heritage site, the Maltese Cross Building takes its name from its decorative frieze pattern.
Clad in red brick with the main floor dressed in Tyndal stone, the building is one of the
first poured concrete structures in Winnipeg making it almost completely fire proof. Its
original purpose was as the Gutta Percha Rubber Company and the manufacture of rubber
footwear and tires. Plug In ICA occupies the ground floor.
