Formerly located on St. John's Avenue in Winnipeg, a 2½-storey dark red brick, Tyndall Stone trimmed, and half timbered and stucco, Tudor Revival-style house, measuring 28.9 feet by 41 feet, was designed by Toronto-based architects Henry Sproatt (1866-1934) and Ernest Ross Rolph (1871-1958), along with their local representative Lindsay Alexander Wardell. It was built in 1905 by contractors Charles Thompson and Andrew McDonald at a cost of about $6,600, for owner Edward Bruce Nash. He was the co-owner of the real estate and investment firm of the Business Agency.
The house was later demolished, and in 1973 the new Consistory for the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church was built on the site. No vestiges of it remain today.
