TO BE MOVED! The magnificent Manse of St. Anne’s Parish in Emyvale is looking for a new home and a new function. An imposing 2 and ½ stories high, the front main structure measures approx. 36’x26’ and features 4 rooms each on the main and 2nd. floor which includes the corner ‘tower’ rooms, as well as 3 more rooms on the 3rd. level. Original flooring throughout 3 levels appear to be hardwood, some covered with later additions such as carpet, linoleum tile, and laminate.

The main level of the back section features the eat-in kitchen and the pantry kitchen with a connecting cloakroom to the main building and the 2nd. floor back section has a bedroom and a bathroom.

I've had my eye on this one for a while now. It's a great old house, but it's size makes moving it prohibitively expensive from the various quotes that I've gotten. I wonder why there's a sudden desire to move it from its' current location? It'd be a loss of a bit of history for that tiny village.
ReplyDeleteThe house is fairly close to the church and shares a parking lot with it. I've been told the church owns an adjacent property which they will sell for the house to be moved to if the potential buyer doesn't want to move the house too far away.
DeleteThis isn't a real estate question, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. My grandfather was born in St. Ann's Church in 1879. They were living in Lot 31 at the time. Would this be the same St. Ann's. I live near Boston and am trying to fill in some missing branches of my family tree.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is the church located in Emyvale. There's another St. Ann's church in the community called "Saint Ann" (Lot 22) near Cavendish. Have you found the Island Registry for researching PEI family and history? www.islandregister.com
DeleteYou might find your families name in this same website under PEI Linages on the left http://www.islandregister.com/gindex.html
Does anyone know if there were any assessments/inspections done to make sure the house is sound enough to move?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me if this house was sold, if there was any inspections or assessments done to see if it can safely be moved? Thanks. And if there is another site to get some more information on it..Thank You
ReplyDeleteUpdate - I have had many inquiries asking if this house is still for sale. I don't know - I have no connection with, or know anyone who belongs, to this Parish. However, I called two church numbers list in an online search - the first got the Diocese of Charlottetown who didn't know what I was talking about. The other was a number to a private residents who were surprised to learn their new phone number once belonged to the Parish. I also sent a few emails and had one response saying they weren't sure if the house was sold but observed the porch had been removed. The house isn't listed for sale anymore. I just checked MLS.ca to see if there was a listing under a new realtor - nothing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWe have purchased and moved this house on June 25th, 2013.
It's back on the market
