Gingerbread House (aka White House)
James White, a contractor of many historic buildings in Carberry, Manitoba built this standout, small-community, 2 ½ story Queen Anne Revival house for his family in 1900. The contrast in color between the red and decretive white brick are stunning in addition to the white of the wrap-around two-story veranda.
The exterior detailing was more ornate when the house was built, especially the main floor veranda with its arches, the veranda spindlework supports, other detailing between the two verandas to avoid the current smooth appearance of the horizontal board, and the bargeboards. Also, there was another dome on the roof in the south east corner. See the link for pictures of the original house in the linked publication.
