This three-room house, a municipally-designated historic site (1992) in the Municipality of Harrison Park, was built around 1897 for Polish pioneers Kaczmir and Mary Chastko. They spent their first winter working in logging camps in the nearby Riding Mountain while they gathered construction materials.
