This two-storey brick residence on Thirteenth Street in Brandon was built in 1907 for retired farmer Joseph Octave Cloutier (1857-1932) and his wife Margaret Cloutier (1861-1926). A subsequent owner was farmer John Durnin (1858-1922) and his wife Mary Jane Ager (1864-1941) who lived here from 1911 to 1921. Insurance agent John Frederick Perkin (?-1961) lived here until 1945, after which it was renovated into residential suites.
