And everyone is invited, says Julie Dagostine, of Creswin Properties Inc. Dagostine said Creswin decided to hire a band and serve cake over the lunch hour today in the courtyard of 201 Portage Ave. She said the decision was made after learning on Thursday the corner’s big birthday is Saturday. No one, not even the city, was planning to celebrate the occasion. The courtyard in front of 201 Portage is located on the same northwest corner where pioneer businessman Henry McKenney opened a general store that became the seed from which the intersection bloomed. McKenney’s far- sighted deal to purchase the property was completed on June 2, 1862. “ He wanted to build his new store where the north- south and east- west travelways crossed,” said George F. Reynolds in an article titled The Man Who Created the Corner Of Portage and Main on the Manitoba Historical Society’s website. “ In the eyes of the old settlers, the worst feature was the distance from the Red River. Nobody in their right mind, they said, would even think of building over one- quarter of a mile from the river, at that time the only source of water.” Creswin has its office at 201 Portage and manages the property. Famous corner gets b- day bash PHIL HOSSACK / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS North End home gutted A firefighter climbs up to the second level of a home at 274 Powers St. Thursday afternoon. The vacant house in the North End was destroyed by fire. Flames shot through the roof as thick black smoke drifted over the area. A Winnipeg Fire Department spokesman said flames were shooting through the upper windows and roof when firefighters arrived, adding the decision was made to use a defensive strategy to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby homes. There were no injuries. The damage to the building and contents is estimated at $ 170,000. The cause remains under investigation. THOMPSON RCMP have identified a 42- year- old man whose death early Wednesday launched a homicide investigation. Allan David Pronteau of Thompson was found injured in a home in the Eastwood neighbourhood of the northern Manitoba city at about 12: 30 a. m. Wednesday. He was taken to hospital, where he died. RCMP have charged Pronteau’s 18- year- old daughter, Jacqueline Brightnose, with manslaughter and she appeared in provincial court in Thompson on Thursday morning.
