Listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places,
the Daly House is the only pre-1900 building remaining on 18th Street. The house was built in 1882 for Thomas Mayne Daly,
Brandon's first lawyer and mayor, Manitoba's first federal cabinet minister and Canada's first juvenile court judge.
It is one of the oldest buildings in the City of Brandon.
George Robinson Coldwell, Thomas Daly's law partner purchased the home in 1896 when Mr. Daly
moved to Roseland, B.C. The Coldwell family resided in the home for approximately 32 years.
It next served as " The Maples " - a children's shelter operated by the Children's Aid Society for 44 years.
In 1976, Brandon Museum Inc., a non-profit organization took over the building and spent two years
restoring the building and planning exhibits. In 1978, the museum, named in honor of Mr. Daly, was officially opened to the public.
Inside you will find a breathtaking oak staircase, original radiators, a brick fireplace, and original oak flooring in the parlor and master bedroom, which serve as stunning backdrops to our exhibits.
