Historic Sites of Manitoba: Thomson Concrete Barn (Municipality of North Norfolk)
This barn was built by Frank Thomson in 1908, using hand-cast concrete blocks, on his farm in what is now the Municipality of North Norfolk. It is a rare surviving example of an agricultural use of this construction material, other concrete barns in the vicinity have been demolished. The building was in poor structural condition during a visit in 2012.
