"Christie House was built in 1905 for Ernest Lisle Christie, founder of the huge stationary and school supply business that still bears his name. Christie and his family lived here until 1934, and the house was occupied by other family members until 1966. The house was designed by Brandon architect W.A. Elliott and was constructed by the local firm of G.C. Taylor" (Manitoba Culture, Heritage, Tourism and Sport). Christie House is listed as Manitoba Municipal Heritage Site No. 20.
