Mark Fortune served on city council from 1879-1881 and became wealthy through real estate.

In 2016 Winnipeg businessman John Pollard purchased the Fortune Block (built in 1881-82) and the Macdonald Block (built in 1883) and has rehabilitated them for residential and commercial mixed-use. The building is wheelchair accessible.
