The former Uptown Theatre (now the Uptown Lofts) was a movie theatre opened in 1931. The heritage building's restored façade features a fanciful mix of Spanish, Moorish and art deco design with many ornamental details, making the building an attractive landmark. Its interior might not be open to the public, but its façade can be viewed from the other side of the street.

Visit Manitoba’s beloved Golden Boy, who is perched atop the Provincial Legislative building. The Golden Boy, a magnificently gilded 5.25-m (17.2-ft) figure sculpted by Charles Gardet of Paris, and cast in 1918 at the Barbidienne foundry in France, is probably Manitoba's best-known symbol. Embodying the spirit of enterprise and eternal youth, he is poised atop the dome of the building. He faces the north, with its mineral resources, fish, forest, furs, hydroelectric power and seaport, where his province's future lies. The foundry was partially destroyed by bombs during the First World War, but the Golden Boy emerged unharmed. Go inside the building to see the exquisite grand staircase and rotunda. Guided tours available.
