Charles Macdonald Concrete House Museum

The Charles Macdonald Concrete House is a two-storey residential structure located in Centreville, Nova Scotia, Canada.

[1] Charles Macdonald was born April 5, 1874, in Centreville, a small rural community located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia.

The interior of the house makes extensive use of concrete, including the central hearth adorned with bas-relief paintings, the stairs, and the bathtub.

Today the house is a seasonally operated, free entry museum which features the artwork of Charles Macdonald, and rugs hooked by his wife Mabel.

[1] During the Great Depression of the 1930s, and facing a lull in customers, Macdonald embarked on a building project in nearby Huntington Point, constructing five concrete cottages overlooking the Bay of Fundy between 1934 and 1938.
