Historic Sites of Manitoba: Canadian Pacific Railway Section House (Provincial Road 502, Lac du Bonnet)

Formerly located along Provincial Road 502 at Lac du Bonnet, between the railway wye on the CPR Lac du Bonnet Subdivision, a two-storey wood frame, clipped gable roof building, was built in 1901 to match the nearby Canadian Pacific Railway Station, which was located just to the north across from the Lac du Bonnet Brick Plant. The building has been demolished and no vestige of it remains today.
