This building at the foot of Main Street and Front Avenue, in Manitou in the Municipality of Pembina, is a former Canadian Pacific Railway type 8 station that was built in 1898 at La Riviere. Later moved to the Archibald Museum, it became a provincially-designated historic site. After the museum closed, it was moved to this site.
