Bowerman House (Saskatoon)

 house, place with historical importance

The Bowerman House was originally built in 1907 as a summer residence and hunting lodge. It is a unique "Western stick style" that aimed to link the design of a building with its environment. Owner Allan Bowerman was caught in the economic downturn at the time of the First World War, and by 1918 was forced to sell his beloved country home. When Saskatoon 's tuberculosis sanatorium was built adjacent to the house in 1925, it became the residence of the superintendent, Dr. H.C. Boughton. Dr. Boughton was a pioneer in the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.

The kitchen and dining room of the Bowerman House are located on the lower floor of the building, taking advantage of a hollow in the landscape that allows easy access to this level.
