This 2½-storey cream brick and half rounded wood shingle siding, Queen Anne Revival-style terrace building was at the northeast corner of Hargrave Street and Cumberland Avenue in Winnipeg. Measuring 50 feet by 120 feet, it was built in 1902 by the construction firm of the Ross Brothers at a cost of about $24,500, for owner William Henry Deacon (1853-1910). In its original configuation, the building contained seven residential apartments.
The building has since been demolished and the site is now occupied by a surface parking lot.
