Manitoba Municipal Heritage Site No. 297
Forbes Building Designation Date: June 12, 2007 The modest-sized Forbes Building, built in the late 1890s, is an important part of a rare collection of late-nineteenth-century commercial structures in Historic Downtown Carberry, a designated heritage district. The enduring building complements its neighbours in type, scale, construction materials and spatial layout, and is a critical element in maintaining the physical and functional continuity of its streetscape. Its association with two long-term occupants, J.B. Davey and Son (Funeral Directors) and Carberry Radio-Electric, also recalls an extended period of the town’s business development. |
