This limestone house in the Tuxedo area of Winnipeg was built in 1949 for Kenneth Alec Powell by Frank R. Lount and Son. The firm built many homes in Tuxedo, most of them in the mid-1930s, and most on speculation, including 137 Handsart, 131 Grenfell sold to Oliver Pollard in 1935, and 139 Grenfell bought by Dr. Charles W. Burns also in 1935.
