The Buffalo King by bkbinthecity

The Buffalo King

Today's house is two doors down from yesterday's house.
This is the Trudel House. It was built in 1928 for Ludger Trudel. Mr. Trudel was a furrier who became known as the Buffalo King because of the contract he had with RCMP to provide them with the heavy Buffalo hide coats that they would wear in the winter.
This is a clinker brick house which makes it quite unusual. Clinker Bricks are made when wet clay bricks are exposed to excessive heat resulting in a dark shiny coating
Beautiful house!
