Historic Sites of Manitoba: Teeter House (334 Maplewood Avenue, Winnipeg)

This 1½-storey wood frame and wood shingle siding, Prairie School-style house, at the southwest corner of Maplewood Avenue and Hay Street in Winnipeg, measuring 27 feet by 36 feet, was designed by local architect George Gaspar Teeter and built in 1909 by contractor John Morris at a cost of about $4,000, as Teeter's personal home.

Teeter would occupy the house until 1910 when he had a new house built across the street, and he subsequently sold the house to fellow architect John Nelson Semmens. At the time of a 2026 site visit, the house was relatively unmodified from its original appearance.
