This 2½-storey wood frame, American Foursquare-style house on Cathedral Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 24 feet by 26 feet, and 8 feet by 11 feet, was built in 1914 by day labour at a cost of about $4,000, for owner Donald E. Campbell. He was the co-owner of the Campbell & Wilkinson Grocery Store on Notre Dame Avenue.
At the time of a 2025 site visit, the house was extensively modified from its original appearance with its exterior covered with stucco. It had been converted into a duplex.
