This 2½-storey wood frame and wood shingle siding, American Foursquare-style house is on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Measuring 20 feet by 28 feet, and 10 feet by 12 feet, it was built in 1912 by owner/contractor Archibald Wilfred “Archie” Cooper at a cost of about $3,000.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was slightly modified from its original appearance.
