A Perfect place for meetings, retreats, parties, weddings, & teas!

Built in 1911 by Emmanuel Cronquist, this 8-bedroom Victorian-style farmhouse has an inviting wrap around porch. Its Queen Anne tower is a familiar icon in and around the Red Deer area. Surprisingly enough, it is not a brick-built house. It is made completely of wood, with a decorative brick facing that runs all the way around the house on the first two floors.

In 1976, the house was 'rescued' by the Red Deer International Folk Festival Society (now the Red Deer Cultural Heritage Society), and was brought across the Red Deer River to where it stands today, overlooking Bower Ponds. The house has lived many "lives" over that past 100 years: a family home, a tearoom, a multi-cultural center, and a historical symbol.

The Cronquist House:

• Operates year-round as a private rental space for parties and meetings which can include catering services.
• Holds special holiday functions including the International Christmas Tea, the Victorian Christmas Dinners, and special Teas; such as Mother’s Day, St. Patrick's, and Spring throughout the year. 

 

The Cronquist Tea House

• Offering a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches, Tea for Two's and assorted delectable desserts.
