This 2½-storey wood frame and wood plank siding house on Anderson Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 22 feet by 28 feet, was designed by local architect Max Zev Blankstein. It was built in 1912 by owner/carpenter Max Marchashoff at a cost of about $3,500. He sold it to John Peter Sundstrom (1856-1935), Reverend at the First Scandinavian Mission Church.
At the time of 2025 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance but was vacant and boarded up.
