Gustin House, Municipal heritage house in Nutana, Saskatoon, Canada
Gustin House is a 1920 residential property in Nutana with specialized piano studios and performance spaces. Sliding glass doors connect the main living room to a dedicated piano studio, with a library positioned between the performance areas.
Built in 1920, the house became the foundation for Lyell Gustin Piano Studios, where hundreds of students received instruction over seven decades. A second piano studio was added in 1928 to accommodate the growing demand for lessons.
The house serves as a venue for chamber music performances that have drawn national artists since 2005. It functions as a classical music center where audiences can experience live recitals in an intimate residential setting.
Visitors should register in advance, as access to music performances requires being placed on a guest list. The best time to visit is during scheduled concert events, when the house is actively hosting its regular programming.
The house contains two separate piano studios with distinct acoustic properties, allowing students and performers to experience different playing environments. This dual studio arrangement was an innovative approach to music instruction when it was first developed.
