This two-storey brick residence on Burrows Avenue in Winnipeg was constructed in 1905. It was unoccupied for a couple of years until it became the home for railwayman Thomas G. Armstrong and his family. In April 1912, he sold it for $6,000 to businessman Louis Seipp who lived here until his death.
In 2024, the building received a Preservation Award from Heritage Winnipeg.
