This two-storey residence on Roslyn Road in Winnipeg was designed by local architect Raymond M. Carey and built in 1917 for bookkeeper Walter P. Moss. Later occupants included lawyer G. Harold Aikins (1930s-1954) and Max C. Kantor (1918-2007) and his wife Mireille Grandpierre-Kantor who operated a ballet studio in the home from 1956 to 2008.
The building received a Preservation Award from Heritage Winnipeg in 2012 and it became a municipally-designed historic building in April 2018.
