Saint Andrews, Manitoba — Canada’s Prairie Region (North America)
Twin Oaks
Datant du milieu des années 1850, ce bâtiment hébergeait les pensionnaires de l’école privée par Matilda Davis jusqu’en 1873. Les familles de la Rivière Rouge et les agents de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson établis dans l’Ouest y envoyaient leurs filles pour une éducation conforme aux usages de la bonne société anglaise. Au pensionnat, qui pouvait loger jusqu’à quarante élèves, à raison de deux par lit, et dans deux salles de classe en rondins, on enseignait le français, la musique, le dessin, la danse, les travauvaux à l’aiguille et les bonnes manières. C’est là un bel exemple de l’architecture de la région.
Erected 1984 by Government of Canada.
