The Parker Residence

In 1918 stonemason Charlie Parker built this craftsman style home as his own residence, and raised a family of seven girls. It was last lived in the late 1960s. Located in southwest Saskatchewan, visited in September 2017.

    1. Neat! Yes I have seen some nicely built stone building in Saskatchewan, I often wonder the stories behind them.
