According to family history related by W. Victor Purdie, this house was once a
sail loft owned by William Douse (1800-1865). The loft was turned into a
residence around 1875. Its early use as a sail loft might well explain the
height of the building. William Douse was a prominent shipbuilder, land agent
and Member of the Legislative Assembly. He came to Prince Edward Island from
England in the early 1820s and soon became involved in farming, shipbuilding,
brewing and auctioneering.
