This 1½-storey cream brick, wood plank and wood shingle siding, Craftsman-style house is on St. John's Avenue in Winnipeg. Measuring 26 feet by 36 feet, and 6 feet by 10.6 feet, it was designed by architect Edward George Sherwood and built in 1913 by day labour at a cost of about $2,000, for owner Josephus Emmanuel “Joseph” Lloyd (1882-c1951). He was a bricklayer. He only occupied the house until 1917 when he sold it to William Austin Mann (1870-1954), a stationary engineer for the City of Winnipeg Engineering Department and later the Selkirk Asylum.
At the time of a 2020 site visit, the house was slightly unmodified from its original appearance. The original cream brick exterior has since been covered with stucco.
