Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bradburn House (662 Wellington Crescent, Winnipeg)

Formerly located on Wellington Crescent, in the Crescentwood area of Winnipeg, a 2½-storey red brick and Tyndall stone trimmed house, measuring 26 feet by 52 feet, was designed by local architect John Hamilton Gordon Russell. It was built in 1906 by the Malcom Brothers Construction Company at a cost of about $16,000, for owner Hector Halbertram Bradburn, a businessman.

Bradburn lived here until 1928, when he had a new house built at 686 Wellington Crescent. This house was demolished in 1950 and no vestiges remain today.
