Description du lieu patrimonial
Ron Kidd Farm-Farmhouse is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the Rural Municipality of Lumsden No. 189, approximately five kilometres south of the Town of Lumsden overlooking Wascana Creek. The 44 hectare property features a 2½-storey brick farmhouse with a fieldstone foundation and a large Ontario-style "bank" barn with a fieldstone foundation, both situated on a large farmyard with shelterbelt.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Ron Kidd Farm - Farmhouse resides in its status as one of the earliest brick farm houses constructed in the area after the turn of the century. Arriving from Ontario in 1882, the Kidd Family came to the Qu'Appelle district and built the house and barn between 1911 and 1913. The two-storey brick house on a stone foundation features two-level bay windows on the west side, arched windows in the gable dormers and a unique stained-glass window in the stairwell. It also features many elements typical of farm houses of the era, including interior doors and hardware, metal wall registers and grills, a staircase with panelled walls, a fireplace mantle and a front door with oval bevelled glass.
Heritage value also resides in the substantial barn, unusual for the prairies but typical of Ontario-style bank barns common in the late nineteenth century. Built into the side of the hill, this type of barn allowed access to both the ground level and second-storey hayloft. It is built on a fieldstone foundation and features red vertical siding and a shingled roof with gables at each end, and dormers.
Located on a large farmyard surrounded by a mature shelterbelt of trees, the Ron Kidd Farm - Farmhouse remains occupied by the fourth generation of the Kidd family.
