The Red River style of log building construction was one of the original methods used in Canada. The logs were left rounded with notched ends. This type of construction consisted of a basic frame of grooved, vertical, squared posts, mortised and tenoned into sills at their bases or set directly into the ground (in rare, early cases), and at their tips, mortised and tenoned into squared plates. Horizontal, squared timbers were fixed between these posts, with the tenons of the horizontal timbers fitting into the vertical groove of the posts. Roof structures of varying types were built on the wall plates. Red River Frame construction allowed both flexibility and portability. Large buildings could be erected using short logs, and buildings could be easily dismantled, moved and put up elsewhere. For these reasons, Red River Frame was the predominant type of construction used in the Canadian West during the fur trade era. The Red River style of log construction has spread across North America and is currently enjoying new popularity. Red River log construction is yet another Metis contribution to the development of Canada.  2, record 1, English, - Red%20River%20frame%20construction

Les immeubles construits avant 1870 sont très importants car ils datent de l'époque de la Colonie de la Rivière-Rouge. Il s'agit de constructions en pierre ou en pièce sur pièce (on appelle pièce sur pièce à tenon en coulisse le type de construction entreprise au Manitoba à cette époque).  3, record 1, French, - construction%20%C3%A0%20ossature%2Dbois%20dite%20de%20la%20rivi%C3%A8re%20Rouge
