| "The Big Store" - Eaton's on Portage Avenue |
 |
| Eaton's 1904 Winnipeg Store on Portage Avenue. The top three stories were added in 1910 |
 |
| Eaton's in Winnipeg included several buildings. |
 |
| A more contemporary photograph of Winnipeg's beloved "Big Store" emphasizes its prominence on Portage Avenue. |
 |
| The street-level details, in bronze and stone, humanized the large structure, a prime example of Chicago-School commercial architecture, transplanted to Canada's prairie. |
 |
| Eaton's 1950s "Carpark" connected to the store via a bridge and a tunnel below the street; customers could have parcels delivered to the carpark for easy pickup upon exit. |
