Marr Residence, Historic house in Nutana, Saskatoon, Canada

The Marr Residence is a house built in Second Empire style, recognizable by its mansard roof and decorative trim at 326 11th Street East in Saskatoon. The building features stonework and architectural details typical of well-to-do homes from the late 1800s, with its construction reflecting the craftsmanship of the period.

Built in 1884 for stonemason Alexander "Sandy" Marr, the house is the oldest building in Saskatoon on its original site. In 1885 it was one of several houses requisitioned as a field hospital for wounded soldiers during the North-West Rebellion, then returned to the Marr family. The family left Saskatoon in 1889, but the house stayed residential until the 1970s.

The house takes its name from stonemason Alexander "Sandy" Marr, who built it in 1884; the family left Saskatoon in 1889 but the Marr name stayed with the building. It was one of several houses requisitioned as a field hospital during the North-West Rebellion of 1885 and returned to the family when the hospital closed that year.

Visitors can tour the house with a guide to learn about its past and the people who lived there. Activities and programs change with the seasons, so checking ahead helps plan your visit.

The house is Saskatoon's oldest building still standing on its original site, a status it holds because it was never moved. It was one of several houses requisitioned in 1885 as a field hospital for wounded soldiers of the North-West Rebellion, and it was returned to the Marr family when the hospital closed that year.
