This two-storey brick residence on Elgin Avenue in Winnipeg was constructed in 1884. Its original owner was contractor Loftus J. Green. Other occupants through the years have included contractor David Saul (c1889-c1894), stablekeeper Thomas Early (c1898-c1902), and widow Christina McDougall (c1905-c1924). It was owned by the McDougall family until the late 1930s. Jean Morrissette, wife of carpenter Jack G. Morrissette, owned and lived here from 1955 into the 1990s.
At the time of a heritage assessment in 2007, the building retained many of its original exterior details. Since then, it has been renovated substantially, with the bricks now covered in stucco.
