Gustin Residence (Saskatoon)

 house, place with historical importance

The Gustin Residence, at the front of the site, was the home and studio of renowned piano teacher, Lyell Gustin. From the 1920s to the 1980s, many students came to the house for lessons in his specially-designed studios, and professional musicians and visitors gathered for cultural performances. The Lyell Gustin Piano Studios were known nationally and internationally for musical excellence. From his home on Tenth Street, important professional initiatives were undertaken including the Saskatchewan Registered Music Teaches’ Association, the Young Artist Series and the Musical Art Club of Saskatoon.

In 2004, the Gustin/Trounce Heritage Committee Inc received financial assistance from the City of Saskatoon for a rehabilitation project to ensure the house retains its heritage integrity. The original furnishings from the 1920s give the Gustin Residence a period flavour.
