With apologies for the colour scheme (I'm so sorry if you're colour blind!). This is the lower layer of a two layer 1D inversion model, interpolated. Was playing with maximizing the contrast to try to find the foundation of the Richardson Mansion that existed on this property prior to it being bulldozed in the 70s and donated to the City of Winnipeg to become Munson Park. I'm pretty sure I captured it in the red square in the middle.

I can't find any picture of the richardaon house. I wonder what it looks like while it's being lived in.

It was a named manor. Something like Crescentwood. Let me see what I can find.

Munson Park -- This was the site of the farm house on what used to be Munson’s farm. Through the bush which still remains on the low part of the property, an old trail leads from the forks, along the south bank of the river and out to the west. The original home, built in 1889, was renovated and modernized during the time it was owned by the James Richardson family. It had its own private swimming pool and a large kitchen garden. It was demolished in 1980.
