"Originally built circa 1887 for businessman Patrick J. Powers, this house was transformed in 1915 by prominent local architect Francis C. Sullivan. Sullivan created a Canadian version of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright's distinctive prairie style in the period before the first world war. This house is distinguished by its wide eaves, horizontal wood bands, stucco finish and distinctive detailing."
