Government House, Winnipeg

Canada → Manitoba → Winnipeg

Built in 1883, the residence at 10 Kennedy Street was transferred from Canada to Manitoba in 1885 for one dollar, with its residential purpose specified. The mansard-roofed house developed through successive alterations. A ballroom added for the Duke and Duchess of York’s 1901 visit was replaced in 1960; the state dining room dates from 1908. The official account gives approximately 20,000 square feet including associated additions. These figures describe the property as documented, not its unchanged original footprint.
