In 1902, the south-central pocket of Winnipeg was conceived by real-estate devel- oper C. H. Enderton as a place with "the most attractive residences in the city." A century later, Crescentwood is living up to its founder's wish, having been named one of Canada's Best Old House Neighborhoods in 2013 by is Old House. Grand residences in early 20th-century styles – Dutch Colonial (here), Queen Anne, Georgian and Tudor Revival – line these streets south of the Assiniboine River and west of the Red River. Outfitted for the holidays, this 1909 home embodies the neighbourhood's architectural appeal with its classic lines and charming porch. is Old House credits Crescentwood's devoted homeowners for lovingly restoring their properties while respecting the area's history. Here, original details con- tinue to shine, alongside simple modern updates. GP Century-Old Charmer by Lea Currie LandMarks
