Occupants | Photos & Maps | Sources
This two-storey structure on West Gate in the Armstrong’s Point area of Winnipeg was designed by local architect Henry Sandham Griffith and built in 1893 for Lendrum McMeans. It was converted into a duplex in 1927. After 1945, a large verandah on two sides of the house was removed and the original wood siding was covered with stucco. The current owners use the home as a duplex.
