Historic Sites of Manitoba: Swan River Concrete House (500 Duncan Crescent, Swan River)This striking house in Swan River is notable for the building material from which it is made. From a distance, it looks like stone, or bricks, but closer inspection reveals it is made from locally-cast concrete blocks. This building material was used at various places around Manitoba for only a few years in the early 20th century. The house appears to have undergone relatively little exterior renovation, other than the removal of a porch/balcony over its front entrance. The year of its construction, builder, and original occupant are, as yet, unknown.
