Barber House
Enlarge text: smaller | larger
At one time, 99 Euclid Avenue was simply another modest
North Point Douglas home. In recent years, however, the
two-storey log structure has stood vacant behind a protective
chain-link fence, the subject of historical and public
controversy.
This one time home of pioneer journalist
and businessman E.L. Barber is a rare surviving link to Winnipeg’s
colonial past. It is a unique example of the Red River frame
construction method employed by early settlers.
