This 2½-storey wood frame, American Foursquare-style house is on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Measuring 21 feet by 28 feet, and 10 feet by 12 feet, it was built in 1913 by contractor Alexander R. Green at a cost of about $3,500, for owner George G. McDonald. He was a teamster at the McDonald-Dure Lumber Company.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
