1912 – Horn House, 131 West Gate, Winnipeg

Still standing today, it was subdivided into multiple units some years ago. The two porches have been enclosed.

“This house, for which Mr. D. W. Bellhouse was also the architect, is of brick construction, rough cast and half timber. The dark red Oriental bricks, brown shingles and half timber make an excellent color scheme. The rough cast has been left the natural cement color and the art stone dressings afford a pleasant relief to the dark shades of the brick and timber. There is a large vestibule and entrance hall, with a wide staircase running the height of the building. The whole of the south side of the ground floor is set apart for the drawing room out of which opens a verandah. On the north side there is a den and dining room, with kitchen at the back. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The attic is fitted up as a billiard room.”
