Historic Sites of Manitoba: Macdonald House / Dalnavert Museum (61 Carlton Street, Winnipeg)
Dalnavert Museum in Winnipeg was once the 1895 home of Hugh John Macdonald. Designed by local architect Charles H. Wheeler and later converted into residential apartments, it was restored in the early 1970s by members of the Manitoba Historical Society to the way it looked when first constructed. In 2006, a Visitors’ Centre designed by local architect Wins Bridgman was added to it. Plaques near the entrance were provided by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and the Historic Sites Advisory Board of Manitoba. Restoration of the municipally-designated historic building has been recognized by Conservation Awards from Heritage Winnipeg.
