1911 Red Deer Cronquist House Ink Pen Drawing By Aeris Osborne

2022 Alberta Artist-In-Residence Project- 1911 Red Deer Cronquist House Ink Pen Sketch was my 4th sketch of the series before painting on canvas.

Story:

Built in 1911 by Emmanuel Cronquist, this 8-bedroom Victorian-style farmhouse has an inviting wrap around porch. Its Queen Anne tower is a familiar icon in and around the Red Deer area. Surprisingly enough, it is not a brick-built house. It is made completely of wood, with a decorative brick facing that runs all the way around the house on the first two floors.

In 1976, the house was ‘rescued’ by the Red Deer International Folk Festival Society (now the Red Deer Cultural Heritage Society), and was brought across the Red Deer River to where it stands today, overlooking Bower Ponds. The house has lived many “lives” over that past 100 years: a family home, a tearoom, a multi-cultural center, and a historical symbol. (Credit: Red Deer Cultural Heritage Society)
