Prologue

This blog is about a 120 year old house. This house already has its own history. And I will tell you how I prepare this house to make its history continued for at least another 100 years. About problems with repair and their solutions, about new technologies and materials, about application of these technologies and materials. And my opinion about all of this.
Tips and tricks, as well as questions are welcome.
It is also encouraging companies that see the use these technologies in their work to bring the houses in order.
Write, discuss and analyze everything!

The time still going,

History of The House

Build in 1893 by land speculator James Roberts, this large two-storey house of buff-coloured  brick veneer commands a good view of Park Lake. Like many  of the substantial Neepawa houses of the period, its design incorporates elements of various styles. The palladian windows in the east and west dormers are typical of the Queen Ann Revival, while the projecting bay with its  round-headed windows, intended to take advantage of the lake view, is Italianate in character. The Brick dogtooth course and the woodwork surrounding the porch emphasize the craftsmanship of the Victorian builder. after 1909 this was the home of the Honorable James
Howden, Neepawa Mayor, Province Secretary, an later, Attorney-General of Manitoba.
