Formerly located at the southeast corner of Saskatchewan Avenue and St. James Street in Winnipeg, a 2½-storey wood frame, Prairie Influenced American Foursquare-style house, measuring 31 feet by 38.6 feet, was designed by local architects Daniel Smith and William Bruce, and built in 1909 by day labour at a cost of about $4,500, for owners George Hull and Ernest Hull. They were small scale market gardeners, who farmed vegtables and herbs on the property.
The house has since been demolished and no vestiges of it remain today.
