From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bowerman House (built in 1907) is a designated Municipal Heritage Property located in the Holiday Park, neighborhood of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The home is of a crafts-man "Western Stick" style. The house was built as a hunting lodge by Allan Bowerman, graduate from Kingston Military College, first postmaster in Saskatoon on the west side of the river, and member of Saskatoon's first town council (1903 – 1905).[1] Bowerman was also responsible for the development of the Canada Building.[2] The home was designed by Walter William LaChance. Bowerman sold the home in 1917 after the end of a construction boom in the city.[3]

In 1923 the building was obtained by the Saskatchewan Anti-Tuberculosis League and became part of the Saskatoon Sanatorium serving as a doctor's residence until 1987.[1] It was used as the sanatorium superintendent residence, for Dr. Boughton and his family, from 1925 to 1959.[3]
The property is now owned by the Meewasin Valley Authority and is used as a private residence.[3]
