1) I ...Here's some information forwarded to me.<br />1) I think the house with the nuns, may be at "The Diner" area of West End Summerside, just beside the new Ultramar?? I seem to recall there was some sort of Social Services there... maybe R.C.? based?/ not sure exactly..but I think they helped in many ways ... pregnant girls, hungry families, help for sick at home etc., etc, - C.A.<br />2) This is 589 South Drive, Summerside PEI - a white house set back considerably from the road. (One side of the road has a car dealership and apartment buildings). This old historic farmhouse has in recent years served as an addictions centre, however the waterview you sent with the Summerside Lighthouse appearing as a white spot or blob in the water (MacCallum’s Point aka Indian Head Lighthouse) seems to match the view you would have seen from the veranda in 1961. So I think that’s the building, however the information on its role as an orphanage will take a little time to track down. - F.H.Carter W.

It is an addiction centre of sorts now but I do remember a statue of Mary on the front lawn. I do not remember it being an orphanage. The second picture looks like it may be looking south towards Holman's island.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
