Historic Sites of Manitoba: Brandon Armoury / 26th Field Regiment Museum (1116 Victoria Avenue, Brandon)

Photos & Maps | First World War Casualties | Sources

The three-storey brick and stone Brandon Armoury was designed by Brandon architect Thomas Sinclair and built between 1907 and 1910 by Ottawa-based surveyor and building contractor Paul T. C. Dumais (1849-1925), who also built a stop butt north of the city. A three-storey brick addition on the south side of the building was constructed in 1935 by local contractor Edwin Charles Higgens at a cost of about $50,000.

Over the years, it has housed the Royal North West Mounted Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 99th Manitoba Rangers, 12th Manitoba Dragoons, and 26th Field Artillery Regiment. A museum, archives and library on the first floor has been open to the public since 1979. Outside the building, on its east side, is a small garden with tablets listing the names of all those from the Brandon area who lost their lives in wartime. Inside the building are honour rolls listing those from the First Baptist Church of Brandon and Lorndale Church who were killed during military service.
