The involved brickwork of this Italianate style house makes it stand out from the other homes on this side of the street. Notice, for example, the large keystoned arch over the front window and the building’s rounded corners. The wood detailing is also worthy of note, especially the front roof brackets and the intricate bargeboards on the gable.
The house was built by A.J. Sheather, who was also the first owner and occupant. Early property descriptions indicate that he kept a cow in a stable located on the northeast corner of the lot. By 1909, J.L Weir, manager of the Brandon Steam Laundry had purchased the house and was living there.
