Occupants | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

This two-storey house in the Tuxedo area of Winnipeg was built in 2003 to replace an earlier house on the same site that was remarkably similar in appearance. That first house was designed by George William Northwood with Raymond Carey and built in 1923 for Claude Heubach, who had joined the Tuxedo Park Company in 1907, two years after its founding. Because Tuxedo was slow to develop, Heubach never had the money he had hoped to have. The house was eventually sold, and Heubach built another, south of the park at 320 Hosmer Boulevard.

The original Heubach House was demolished around 2003 and the present structure was built.
