Charles Macdonald Concrete House Museum, Heritage museum in Kings County, Canada.

The Charles Macdonald Concrete House Museum displays concrete sculptures, including deer and mountain lions, across its outdoor garden and yard space.

Built in 1910, Charles Macdonald transformed his concrete brick factory into a two-story residence after returning from his voyages as a ship carpenter.

The museum exhibits artworks, sculptures, and rugs created by Charles and Mabel Macdonald, representing Nova Scotian rural life from the mid-20th century.

Restoration work in 2023 includes foundation repairs, floor leveling, and exterior sculpture preservation by restoration expert Eileen Boyd starting January 2024.

The entire house structure incorporates concrete elements, from the central hearth with bas-relief paintings to concrete stairs and a concrete bathtub.
