This 1½-storey wood frame and wood plank siding, Craftsman-style house is on Burrows Avenue in Winnipeg. Measuring 24 feet by 34 feet, it was built in 1928 at a cost of about $2,500, for owner Nicholas T. Kachuk (1896-1963). He was an employee at the Western Glove Works.
At the time of a 2015 and 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
