P.E.I. Heritage Buildings: Stately Mansard House, Valdane Ave., Charlottetown

Stately Mansard House, Valdane Ave., Charlottetown

I came across this clipping this evening - the house was demolished not long after this article. Most of the article to the left is gone from the clipping - the headline read in part "....shuts down problem building"

No wonder it stood out, it didn't look like a cookie cutter subdivision house like everything else in the area.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
