Description

The House at
250 Queen Street 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 House 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.
