Henry Kalen was one of Canada’s most distinguished architectural photographers. His work for prominent Winnipeg architectural firms in the 1960s and 1970s portrayed a stylish, modern, and changing city. This book provides a glimpse of Kalen’s vast body of work photographing Winnipeg’s built environment during the optimistic mid-twentieth century. His photographs have given us the definitive images of many of the city’s most iconic buildings.

Alison Gillmor is a Winnipeg arts and cultural writer and critic.

Susan Algie is one of the founders of the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation and researches, writes and curates for the organisation.
