This 1½-storey wood frame and stucco, Arts and Crafts-style house is on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Measuring 20 feet by 26 feet, it was built in 1926 by owner/contractor Moses Dorfman at a cost of about $3,000. He sold it to William L. Johnson, a locomotive engineer at the Canadian Pacific Railway.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
