Formerly located on Dufferin Avenue in Winnipeg, a two-storey wood frame and stone duplex, measuring 28 feet by 40 feet, was designed by local architect Max Zev Blankstein and built in 1909 by day labour for owner Abraham Abrahamson (1885-1911) at a cost of about $4,500. The building has been demolished and, at the time of a 2024 visit, the site was vacant.
