The Charles Macdonald Concrete House Museum is a two storey residential structure in Centreville, Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada, built entirely of reinforced concrete in 1910 by Charles Macdonald, a folk artist, socialist and owner of a cement brick factory. The interior includes concrete elements such as a central hearth decorated with bas relief paintings, concrete stairs and a concrete bathtub, while the exterior carries a concrete fence, garden sculptures and decorative concrete animals. The property was declared a Provincially Registered Heritage Property in 1998. It now operates seasonally as a free admission museum displaying Macdonald artwork alongside rugs hooked by his wife Mabel.
