This one-storey wood frame and stucco, Arts and Crafts-style house is on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Measuring 22 feet by 28 feet, it was built in 1927 by owners/contractors Robert “Roy” Heintz and George Lackman at a cost of about $3,500. They sold it to John Fraser (1901-1988), an electrician.
At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
