William John McIntosh built his house in 1895. It was situated along with his blacksmith shop across the road from the Coulter and Berry General Store. The house was built with wood bevelled siding; gable roof type; wood shingle roof; rectangular plan shape; a front verandah and decorated fascia in roof verge. The house was later occupied by the Moorehouse family after 1920. The McIntoshs moved into another home in Fort Langley at this time. The house was originally a two storey structure with a prominent bay-style front entrance. The house was moved up the street in the late 1970s/early 1980s, to Mavis and Royal Street. To facilitate moving the building, it was necessary to collapse the second storey. The building was demolished.
