A two-storey brick building at the southeast corner of Eleventh Street and Louise Avenue in Brandon was built as the residence for John E. Smith, a well-known local farmer and horse breeder. From the 1950s until 1984, it housed the Brandon Allied Art Centre. Since then it has served as a community group home, the Welcome Inn. It is on a Significant Buildings List pending evaluation by the Brandon Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee.
