stone & brick
On our trip to the southeastern corner of Saskatchewan we travelled around to some of the stones houses & barns as well as some old brick homesteads.

These houses were built so well it is to bad that most are abandoned or in ruins. I know if I have more money I would purchase one of these homes, fix it up & live in it. Anyways here are some of the homes we saw:
