The Caron House
50 Cass Street

Built in 1901, on the site of their old home, this brick dwelling belonged to the George Caron family. In 1907 George Caron was appointed Provincial Inspector of Public Institutions, which included those institutions in Selkirk, Portage and Brandon.

The House is a good example of a turn of the century brick farmhouse. The house is the last identifiable element of the early Charleswood settlement, and has been restored by the Charleswood Historical Society.
