This 2½-storey brick home on Edmonton Street in Winnipeg was designed in 1902 by Colin Campbell “Cam” Chisholm and built by William Brydon and F. Powell for $6,500. Its first resident was James Walter Harris and his wife Susan. It was slightly renovated through the years until being converted into office space in 1977 by William Hanuschak and Associates Limited. The building is a municipally-designated historic site.
