This 2½-storey wood frame and wood plank siding, American Foursquare-style house is on Burrows Avenue in Winnipeg. Measuring 20 feet by 26 feet, and 8 feet by 10 feet, it was built between 1912 and 1913 by owner/contractor Joseph Vogel at a cost of about $3,000. He sold it to Isaac “Ike” Phillips (1871-?), a tailor at the Richard Company Limited.
At the time of a 2015 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
