This 2½-storey wood frame and stucco, Prairie Influenced American Foursquare-style house on Cathedral Avenue in Winnipeg, measuring 20 feet by 26 feet, and 10 feet by 10 feet, was designed by local architect David A. Abramovitch and built in 1911 by owner/contractor Benjamin Goldstein at a cost of about $2,000. He sold it to Charles A. Condor, a draftsman at the G. W. Murray Company.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was slightly modified from its original appearance with its dormer window having been removed.
