The Marr Residence is the oldest house in Saskatoon still standing on it’s original site.  Built by Alexander (Sandy) Marr in 1884, it was one of the first substantial houses to appear in the original Temperance Colony of Saskatoon.  Mr. Marr brought his wife and family west; drawn by the lure of homestead land and a chance to make a living in the new colony.  The house and property was acquired by the City of Saskatoon in 1979 and restored to show what domestic life was like in early Saskatoon.
