Marr Residence
This home was built for Alexander Marr in 1884. It was one of several houses requisitioned as part of a field hospital in May 1885 to treat the wounded from the Battles of Fish Creek and Batoche during the North-West Rebellion. Marr was a stonemason who built Saskatoon's first permanent school, the first Victoria School (aka the "Little Stone School"), at Broadway Avenue and 11th Street, now relocated to the University of Saskatchewan grounds. An addition greatly increased the original size of the house, which has a wood frame, a mansard roof and dormer windows. The property is owned by the city and is a municipal heritage property. It is the oldest building in Saskatoon on its original site.
