This residential cottage on Laurel Avenue in Winnipeg Beach was built in 1911 by contractor Sinclair Balsor Ritchie. Named Passamaquoddy for the First Nations people of New Brunswick and Maine, its exposed wooden frame and rafters, and shallow pyramidal roof, are characteristic of Manitoba cottages from the early 20th century.
