This 1¾-storey wood frame and stucco, Arts and Crafts-style house on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg, measuring 24 feet by 27 feet, was built in 1928 by the construction firm of Wylie and Compton at a cost of about $6,500, for the Foil Seaman Kent Building Company. They sold it to John A. Dick, a clerk at the Canadian Pacific Railway.
At the time of a 2025 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
