This 2½-storey wood frame, American Foursquare-style house is on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Measuring 20 feet by 28 feet, and 10 feet by 10 feet, it was built in 1912 by owner/contractor Lewis Pullmer at a cost of about $2,000. He sold it to William Y. Macaulay, a grocer and proprietor of the Macaulay Grocery.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
