This three-storey brick and stone block on Beresford Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 26 feet by 68 feet, was designed and built in 1913 by contractor James W. Parker (1869-?) for owner Martin Thomas McKittrick at a cost of about $20,000. The building contained six apartments in the original configuration. Its twin, the Raymond Apartments, is located a short distance along the street.
