This 1½-storey dark red-brown brick and wood shingle siding house on Cathedral Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 24 feet by 30 feet, was built in 1930 at a cost of about $3,500, for owner Stephen “Steve” Dudar (1881-1934), an employee at the Nelson River Construction Company.
At the time of a 2025 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
