This 1½-storey wood frame and stucco, Tudor Revival Storybook-style house on Seymour Street in Winnipeg, measuring 22 feet by 26 feet, was built in 1937 by contractor John Kucher at a cost of about $2,000, for owner Joseph Sellski. He was an operator at the Canada West Shoe Manufacturing Company.
At the time of a 2025 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
