DALNAVERT Built in 1895, Dalnavert is a fine example of the Queen Anne Revival style, popular about 1880 to 1914. Its asymmetrical composition in brick, varied massing and rich interior decoration are typical of this eclectic style, which is loosely based on late medieval and early Renaissance British models. The expansive verandah, common to the style in Canada and the United States, unites the house and its setting. Designed by Charles H. Wheeler, Dalnavert was built for Sir Hugh John Macdonald, premier of Manitoba in 1899-1900.

Français

Construite en 1895, Dalnavert offre un bel exemple du néo-Queen Anne, style éclectique en vogue des environs de 1880 à 1914, qui s'inspirait librement de modèles britanniques de la fin du Moyen Age et du début de la Renaissance. Sa composition asymétrique en brique, la diversité de ses masses et sa riche décoration intérieure en sont typiques. La vaste véranda, caractéristique de ce style au Canada et aux États-Unis, unit la maison et son cadre. Dessinée par Charles H. Wheeler, celle-ci fut bâtie pour sir Hugh John Macdonald, premier ministre du Manitoba en 1899-1900.
