This two-storey brick building on River Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 45 feet by 47 feet, was designed and built between 1905 and 1906 by architect James Henry Cadham as his personal residence. After his death in December 1907, it was occupied by a succession of people. In 1922, the building was converted into a six-suite rental property called the River Apartments.
