Ralph Connor

The Ralph Connor House, located on the Assiniboine River in the Armstrong's Point neighbourhood of Winnipeg, was the home of Charles Gordon, wife Helen, and their seven children.

Today it is a heritage property designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 2011, a Provincial Heritage Site in 2004, and a Winnipeg Landmark Heritage Structure that was built in 1913-1914. The House was named after Charles Gordon's pen name and is currently owned by the Friends of The Ralph Connor House, which has launched a 21st Century Campaign to ensure the legacy of the Gordon family continues. Their mission is to "preserve Ralph Connor House as a meeting place that keeps alive the spirit and legacies of Rev. Charles and Helen Gordon, their family and the University Women's Club of Winnipeg, and to continue service to the greater community." Their vision is to "be a centre and meeting place that fosters the work of people who are committed to education, social justice, healthy communities, human rights, music, art, literature and intellectual activity."
