About
Dalnavert, also known as Macdonald House, is a historic house museum in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Dalnavert was constructed in 1895 as a private residence for Sir Hugh John Macdonald, a lawyer, politician, and former premier of Manitoba. The house is closely associated with national political history as the home of the son of Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.
Dalnavert is a well-preserved example of late nineteenth-century urban domestic architecture and has been restored to interpret Victorian-era household life. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990 and continues to operate as a public museum following periods of closure, restoration, and community-led advocacy.
