![]() ![]() You can read there to learn about Cecil and Susan Hayward and their passion for finding and documenting these stone monuments. Cecil’s work is actually referred to in the forward to Legacy of Stone. It’s a collection by Cecil and Susan Hayward. If you see this book in a book store and you find stone structures as fascinating as I do, I would suggest that you grab it before it’s too late.Īnother fine listing of Saskatchewan’s stone structures is unpublished. Frank Korvemaker, the respected Saskatchewan historian and co-author, was compelled to sell the publisher’s remaining stock himself and they are now all gone. It’s my understanding that the publisher ran into financial problems. It’s not meant to be a listing of all such structures but this book provides examples of the types of buildings to be found including a substantial background as to why they were built and who built them. This is the book that lists some of the most iconic of Saskatchewan’s stone buildings, be they homes, churches, schools or other structures. It’s a book called Legacy of Stone – Saskatchewan’s Stone Buildings. One such publication is quite well known among those who love stone buildings. I checked respected publications for identification and other information about this location but those publications were as silent as the stones of this house. These people were unaware of this particular house. However I’ve consulted with the the people who I consider to be the most knowledgeable about Saskatchewan’s stone buildings. To be clear, I’m not likely the first person to have photographed this Saskatchewan stone house. The location is among trees, behind other structures and away from the main roads, and this has concealed it to both the modern age and the digital lens. It was just such a place that I discovered in July 2022 and am pleased to show you today. For those who are driven to explore for prairie history there are few things as satisfying as the discovery of an old stone house, especially one that has rarely if ever been photographed.
