This 1¾-storey wood frame and shingle siding house on McAdam Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 22 feet by 26 feet, and 8 feet by 10 feet, was designed and built in 1912 by contractor James H. Berry at a cost of about $3,000, for owner Roy Stiles, a conductor at the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company.
At the time of a 2025 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance but was weathered.
