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.
