Originally four storeys high, the Daylite Building was designed and constructed in 1899 by James H. Cadham on the southeast corner of McDermot Avenue and Princess Street in the western half of the warehouse district.

The Daylite Building was a speculative investment for John Duncan McArthur, a Winnipeg-based railway contractor, property developer, and manufacturer-distributor of lumber and other building materials.
