Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site of Canada 10

Description : The surviving stone structures at Lower Fort Garry represent significant examples of early fur trade architecture.
Lower Fort Garry is home to several different architectural designs that flourished in the fur trade era.

The fact that there was wood 32 km (20 miles) to the north as well as a generous supply of limestone at the fort, enabled several different methods of construction to be used in the settlement. Designs using both stone and wood abounded in the settlement back then, and the current historic buildings are examples of construction techniques used 150 years ago.
