The traditional shallow pyramidal roof and long line of screened openings facing into a verandah that defines a Manitoba summer house is visible at Epsillon Villa, but with a major twist – here with a striking second floor cupola that appears as a lookout tower. This feature has made the Villa, built around 1920, a local landmark, and also recalls the variety of forms that ingenious cottage owners might use to make an architectural statement, in this case by a chief of police for his bride to be.
