This 1½-storey wood frame and stucco house on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet, was built in 1929 at cost of about $6,000 by contractor Arthur Edward Holmes. He sold it to Thomas H. Jennings, an employee at the Winnipeg Foundry Company.
At the time of a 2025 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
