Built in 1866, the Captain Kennedy House is one of the last standing stone structures on River Road from the 19th century. Made of stones quarried from the Red River banks, the house was built for Captain William Kennedy and his family. Captain Kennedy was a Hudson’s Bay Company employee, Arctic explorer, entrepreneur, and, with his wife Eleanor, a prominent member of Red River society. It was originally dubbed as Maple Grove by the Kennedys when it was first constructed with the help of mason Duncan McRae, who also helped build the Rectory.
