This 2½-storey wood frame and wood shingle siding, American Foursquare-style house is on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Measuring 20 feet by 28 feet, and 10 feet by 12 feet, it was built in 1914 by owner/contractor Archibald Wilfred “Archie” Cooper at a cost of about $3,000. He sold it to Chester John Montgomery (1880-1934), a physician operating out of the third floor of the Thomson Block.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was slightly modified from its original appearance with its original wood shingle siding replaced with stucco.
