This site is significant because:

- its contribution to Calgary's historic wholesale/warehouse district, recalls Calgary's historic status as the most important wholesale and distribution centre between Winnipeg and Vancouver. [Activity value: city-wide significance]

- it contributed to the development of the northern Beltline area as Calgary's main wholesale/warehouse district, and continues to contribute to the warehouse district's historic identity and character. [Symbolic value: community significance]

Character-defining elements: Character-defining elements of the property include, but are not limited to, the following: - Three-storey, rectangular, flat-roof form with mainly symmetrical facade; three bays wide and ten deep; raised basement and ground floor; - Exposed, reinforced, board-formed concrete construction with plain projecting piers; red-brick facade in common bond; corbelled brick framing of each of the front bays; - Fenestration, comprising rectangular windows with plain concrete sills; paired one-over-one window sashes (rear façade); - Off-center main entrance doorway with transom light; - Two raised loadin
