Historic Sites of Manitoba: Nelson Concrete House (Municipality of North Norfolk)This two-storey, concrete-block house northwest of Austin, in the Municipality of North Norfolk, was probably built in the first decade of the 20th century, possibly by local farmer Frank Thomson who was responsible for many of the concrete-block buildings in the area. Purchased in the 1940s by returned war veteran Joe Nelson, it served as the Nelson family home for many years but was abandoned when, in 2011, a suspected arson fire destroyed all but its concrete walls.
