The Henuset
House is located in Historic Downtown Virden, a designated
heritage
district consisting of a six-block area of the historic commercial core
of
the Town of Virden, with buildings mostly dating from the period of the
community’s
initial growth from 1882 to 1903. The municipal designation applies to
the
approximately 10000 square-metre parcel of land. |
Heritage
Value
|
The Henuset
House, erected in ca. 1910, is valued for its contribution
to
the character of Historic Downtown Virden, significant historically and
architecturally
as a rare remaining Manitoba example, mostly intact, of the kind of
streetscape
that defined small-town commercial cores from the turn of the 20th
century.
Its simple wood-clad form and thoughtful details define important
qualities
and characteristics evident in the whole district.
