"The Archbishop's Palace, Winnipeg, Man.", posted 13 September 1911 at Cochrane, Alta., to Mrs G W Learned of Learned Plain, Quebec (just east of Cookshire). This Nerlich card shows the Archbishop's Residence (Archevêché) at 151 Taché in St-Boniface, across the Red River from old Winnipeg. Built in 1865, it replaced the previous archevêché, which had been lost in the 1860 St. Boniface Cathedral fire.
I believe it's the second oldest building in Winnipeg that still serves its original purpose - after St James Church, a small Anglican church that is ten years older. The Grey Nuns' Convent, just up the street, dates to the 1840s but is now the Musée de Saint-Boniface.

The letter is long for a postcard (about 200 words) and is from one Ronald Bottrell, who has gone west to work on a construction site: "The mail comes up here Wed. and Sat., but we can send our mail down to Cochrane every day, there are teams hauling poles, cross arms, etc. I like the job fine, don't work more than eight hours a day, generally get up about seven. Six of us in this shack and fore more line men and coming. Get good board. We board at the minister's so we have to be good."
