This 1½-storey wood frame and wood shingle siding, Prairie School-style house on Canora Street, in the Wolseley area of Winnipeg, measuring 27 feet by 37 feet, and 8 feet by 8 feet, was designed by local architect George Gaspar Teeter and built in 1911 by contractor William J. Hood at a cost of about $7,500, for owner Harvey E. Crabbe. He was the manager at live stock dealer of Rice & Whaley Limited.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
