Tuxedo
Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba
ca. 1910, by C.C. Chataway
In the tradition of the "city beautiful"
movement, the Tuxedo Park Company combined parkland
with higher learning in this proposed Winnipeg suburb.
However, its plans for the city's "best residential
area" proved far more ambitious than what actually
transpired. The University of Manitoba did not build
in Tuxedo Park, and Olmstead Park did not materialize
until 1965.
