Historic Sites of Manitoba: Villa Louise / Fleming House (707 Louise Avenue, Brandon)Villa Louise, with its striking appearance, generous size and extensive grounds, was a landmark in early Brandon. Once common in Manitoba, examples of this style are now extremely rare. The residence is also the earliest-known Brandon commission of Walter Henderson Shillinglaw, built in 1888 for pioneer physician Alexander Fleming. It was subsequently owned by Isaac Alvin Robinson, founder of the Empire Brewing Company of Brandon. A commemorative plaque on the grounds of the house was unveiled in August 1994 by the Manitoba Heritage Council.
