Owners always ask for an exemption. See last sentence below:
This seven-storey brick building on the south side of Portage Avenue East in Winnipeg was designed by local architect Herbert E. Matthews and built by James McDiarmid in 1909 at a cost of $265,000 for the Notre Dame Investment Company. Later transferred into the ownership of the Bank of Nova Scotia, in April 1928 it was sold for $100,000 to the partnership of Benjamin “Ben” Jacob (c1892-1975) and John Henry Crowley (c1889-1963) operating as the Jacob-Crowley Manufacturing Company Limited. It was later renamed the Crowley Building.
In February 2017, it became a municipally-designated historic building.
