Historic Cottage - 154 Prospect

Sandell’s Cottage (1908)

A nearly perfect example of the traditional Manitoba cottage, with shallow pyramidal roof and long line of screened openings facing into a verandah, is here enriched with attention to subtle details. Built around 1908 by S.B. Ritchie, the C.P.R.’s major local contractor, the cottage also has been preserved inside, and the high levels of physical integrity that attend the original construction materials, features and details are an ongoing tribute to a family that has honoured this summer place for more than a century.
