This three-storey brick and stone block on Roslyn Road in Winnipeg was designed by local architects Edward Parkinson and James H. Halley and built in 1929 by Joseph Albert Tremblay at a cost of about $100,000. The structure contained 24 apartments in its original configuration. It contains 26 apartments today.
In September 2019, it became a municipally-designated historic building.
