About Museum
The federal government recognizes Museum for its heritage, one of 4 such buildings in Selkirk. The register gives 1962–1965 for Museum.
The Museum Building at Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site of Canada is a reconstruction of the fort’s old Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) retail store. This interpretation of the Georgian Style is a two-and-a-half-storey rectangular building with hipped roof, brick chimneys, regularly placed multi-pane windows, white-painted wood siding, dark green trim and central main entrance. A single-storey, gable-roofed extension is attached to the rear of the building. The Museum Building is located along the fort’s south wall facing the Big House at the fort’s centre. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
