Description du lieu patrimonial
The Bielby Residence is a Municipal Heritage Property located on one hectare of land near the Town of Loon Lake in northern Saskatchewan. The property features a one-room log house with a lean-to and loft, built in 1934, and a landscaped green space around the building.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Bielby Residence resides in its association with the early settlement of this northern community and speaks to the local significance of the log homes that were constructed in the region. Similarly, it stands as a reminder of the homesteaders who settled the area during the late 1920s and early 1930s when poor crops and drought forced many farm families to abandon their southern farms and seek out better land in more northerly areas.
Heritage value also lies in the building's log construction. Because of immediate timber resources and ease of construction, log cabins were the most common type of residence in this region and by the early 1930s, a log home stood on virtually every quarter-section. As the region prospered, however, and families built new wood-frame homes, the log structures were eventually abandoned. The Bielby Residence, with its log construction, mud chinking, and location on one hectare of land, is an excellent example of the region's popular dwellings and it is one of the few remaining log structures of the area.
