The house was built in 1884 by Alexander Marr, a stonemason, and stands as one of Saskatoon's oldest buildings. During the conflict of 1885, the residence served as a field hospital for wounded soldiers in the region.

The house was built by a stonemason who worked on it himself, which explains the careful quality of the stonework throughout. This hands-on craftsmanship is still visible in the finishes and details found in the building.
