In 1908, this two-storey brick house on Second Street SW in Carman was built for Martha Luella Ferguson (1874-?). Two years later, it was sold to Malcolm McIvor (1864-1942). It is a major example of the large and handsome buildings the social and economic elite of Carman built in the early 20th century. The house's design and craftsmanship displays its sturdy brick walls, complex and dramatic roof shape, and numerous and expertly crafted features and details. It is one of the five key buildings on this street that is packed with fine brick houses expressing the architectural ambitions of their owners. The George family purchased the house in 1947.
