The building has been in very poor condition for years - hopes of it being restored and repurposed were never achieved. The church was located on Rte-8 close to Rte-109. It was built in 1890 - a Mr. Jesse Burns donated the wood to build the frame, and with donated labour the total cost of construction was about $950.

Love Tenement, St. Peter's Rd., CharlottetownI took this photo today of the E.B. Love Tenement House at 37-39 St. Peters Road. The building was built in 1886 and is directly across the street from Murphy's Parkdale Pharmacy. Love and Son commissioned local architects Phillips and Chappell to design this double tenement. The Love family operated a tannery on the corner of Queen and Kent Streets. There was an earlier house on this property called St. Avard, owned by James C. Pope.

The first is St. John's Anglican Church, consecrated on July 1, 1900. The incredible detailing on this church was done by "Little" Harry Williams.

Then we went by the Old St. James Anglican Church, consecrated in 1843. In 1885 a "New" St. James Anglican church was built across the road where the in 1885. Beside the new St. James church is the Rectory - this style of house is known in western PEI as a "Fox House."

As we carried on Route-12 we came to Birch Hill where there's another set of churches across the road from each other. On the left is the 1858 Lot 14 Presbyterian Church and on the right is the 1925 Lot 14 United Church. We were surprised to see the old Presbyterian church still there, as it was suppose to have been demolished last February 2021.

The last stop on our Route-12 church tour was at Immaculate Conception St. Patrick's Parish Church, Grand River. This church was built in 1839. In 1890 well known Island Architect William Harris was hired to architecturally enhanced and embellish the church.

The Rectory was built in 1868 from local brick, same as the church.
Here's a photo I took of the church and house to the far right on June 11, 2010. Also here's an image of the church and rectory from Meachams 1880 Atlas of PEI. The last photo is from Dutch's Facebook post of the demolished recotry.

A dendrochronology study carried out on the logs determined the wood was cut in the spring of 1772. As a result of the Acadian Deportation of 1758 Jean and Marguerite left PEI, and returned to Rustico with their family in 1771.
The Doucet House was located at Grand Pere Point in Cymbria and was going to be torn down in 1999. However, it was offered to the Friends of the Farmers Bank of Rustico who moved it to their National Historic Site and restored it in 2003.
When the museum in open in the summer months you can visit the site and learn more about the Doucet House - the oldest house on Prince Edward Island.

Here are two photos I took on December 24, 2019 when we attended the annual Christmas Eve service. They were building a walkways and ramp at that time, thus the construction out front.

<b>OLD ISLAND LANDMARKS RECALL PIONEER TIMES</b>
The picture shown above is one of a series taken by the late Mr. James E. Harris, of Charlottetown which will appear from time to time in The Guardian, illustrative of old Prince Edward Island landmarks. They are being published with notes prepared for the most part by Mr. Harris, through the courtesy of the P.E. Island Historical Society. Some years ago, Mr. Harris used the pictures to illustrate an address from which the following excerpts are taken.
“Visitors come to P.E. Island, and we like to show the beauties of our lovely Island, but we need more than fine beaches, good bathing, good fishing and golf courses; these can be had elsewhere. Donald Maxwell in England, among many others, has created a great interest in the byways and the little forgetten villages, and we could very possibly build up interest and a trade for our artists in pictures and photographs of our little-known side roads and architecture of earlier days, whether house, church, old mills, or fishing ports."

We were by this big old church yesterday to have a look around outside and take a few photos. Word around is that it will be demolished soon. It's located at 5522 Rte. 12 in Lot 14 / Birch Hill.

The old church sits across the road from the new United Church built after church union in 1925 when the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationists join together to create the United Church of Canada. However, as negotiations proceeded back then, 60% of the Presbyterians chose not to join the newly formed United Church and carried on as they always had.
Tenders were called for the construction of this church in 1857 and construction began the following year.
It measures 46' wide by 56' long; it has a 16' wall plate; the corner boards are built of 14"x 1-3/4" wood plank, nailed with huge hand forged spikes; the beveled siding is 6" with 4-1/4" exposed c/w birch bark air barrier.
Here are photos along with a floor plan I drew to illustrate what I've been able to determine.

integrity of original architectural elements. </span>The Profitt barn is one of
the oldest barns in the community. The Profitt farm was once a 140-acre
property held by William J. Profitt as recorded in J. H. Meacham and Co.'s 1880
Illustrated Historical Atlas of the Province of Prince Edward Island. It is
believed the property had been owned by a Power family. This barn was
built approximately in 1900 with a straight pitched roof and underwent
modifications in 1947. Then owner, William Profitt, his son Lloyd Profitt, and
local carpenters Ralph Thompson and Ralph Heaney, modified the barn to increase
storage capacity. The barn was lifted and turned a quarter turn, extended 18
feet, a new cement and sandstone foundation was constructed and a gambrel roof
was added. Standing lumber was purchased at an auction, cut down and taken to
the Long River mill to be prepared for use in the new construction. The larger
raised gambrel roof provided more storage area for loose hay. This was a
typical practice of Prince Edward Island farmers to increase storage capacity
of their barns. The ventilator on the top of the roof aided in allowing air to
circulate in the hay loft to prevent the hay from overheating. Shortly after
1947, William Profitt purchased the first hay baler in the Long River district.
A long sloping field located behind the barn led to water damage to the
building which was a factor in repositioning the barn and the addition of the
foundation which is six feet taller on the north side of the structure. The
foundation was constructed using 900 bags of cement mixed with sand and small
sandstone rocks. The extended height of the foundation on the north side of the
building deters water damage from spring and snow run off.</i> <span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><i>The barn was an integral component of the mixed
farming operation, as it housed cattle, horses, pigs and chickens and was used
for the storage of grains and hay. The barn continues to be an important
building on the property which also includes a 1926 two-storey foursquare style
farmhouse and a small, late 1930s, gambrel-roofed barn used for pigs and
chickens and at one time housed foxes. The barn is a well-known landmark in its
community and is often photographed by travellers in the area. </i></span><u>Source:

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Catherine
Hennessey, currently visiting Boston, Mass., was so worried about the fate of
the home once called Spring Park that she phoned home to rally people behind
the building.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Looking
at the grew building that houses 8 and 10 Duvar Court, nobody would guess it
was once the manor house of a country estate. Decorated with peeling paint, a
sagging extension and garbage in the front yard, the house that gave its name
to an entire neighbourhood now looks like a textbook case of renovations gone wrong.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%;">

<div style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But Spring
Park has a history that belies its appearance. In fact, the home is believed to
be the birthplace of John Hamilton Gray, a former premier of P.E.I. and one of
the Fathers of Confederation.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hennessey
says developers want to tear the home down and erect an eight-unit apartment
building in its place. She’s crying foul.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The

attracted public attention because it’s on a side street and hasn’t been designated
as a heritage site.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Before
the building can be torn down, developers will have to get a permit from
Charlottetown City Council. And the city’s planner says it shouldn’t even go to
council before May.</span></div>

Island</span></a> in 1787 as private secretary to Governor Edmund Fanning. Both

America</span></a> as <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/loyalists/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Loyalist</span></a>
refugees in the wake of the <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/american-revolution/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">American
Revolution</span></a>. Robert Gray married Mary Burns, daughter of George
Burns, a prominent merchant and Island landlord. Gray was sent to England for
his education, and spent his 20s and 30s in the British military, including
service in <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/south-african-war/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">South Africa</span></a>
and India. He retired with the rank of captain in the 7th Dragoon Guards. While
still in the military, he married Susan Bartley Pennefather, step-daughter of
J.L. Pennefather, an officer in the 7th Dragoon Guards. Gray named his first
child Harriet Worrell Gray, in honour of the sister of Charles Worrell, a
resident Island landlord who at one time owned close to 100,000 acres,
including some once held by George Burns. The marriage of Gray’s sister, Jane,
to Artemas Cambridge further strengthened Gray’s ties with leading
entrepreneurs and officials who moved back and forth between Britain and Prince
Edward Island. When Gray returned to Prince Edward Island in the 1850s, he was
appointed to the Legislative Council, the upper house in the Island
Legislature. Gray rejoined the military during the <a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/crimean-war/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Crimean War</span></a>,
but did not see active service. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> ...By March 1845, WW had moved to Charlottetown and offered Bonshaw Farm for lease or let. He described the farm as having a house and offices and was available for immediate possession. No record of anyone taking up the offer has been found so it is likely the house stood empty, although the land was probably still being farmed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In the early part of 1848, WW was having financial difficulties, probably caused by living beyond his means. In April he gave up the lease of the 2718 acres in Lot 30 he had from David Stewart in lieu of rent arrears to the value of 192 pounds. He also left the Legislative Council although this may have been due to expiration of his term in office and not a reflection on his financial troubles. The letter to explain his replacement on the Council noted "he quitted the Island". As the year progressed, things got much worse, and WW advertised Bonshaw Farm for sale.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> I recently got a copy of the community history, <b><i>Morell: Its History</i></b> by the <i>Jubilee Senior Citizens Club</i>, 1980. I was interested to read the story about <i>Webster's Mills of Marie</i> - the following informations comes from Pages 46-48, written by Cuyler Dingwell.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Edward Warrel Webster (b. 1810) was known as Edward the Miller. He married Henrietta Maria Bowley and, as a young man, established mills on the Marie River building a dam for power, possibly about the year 1835. The first lumber mill was powered by an overshot water wheel and used what is known as "up and down saws." The flour mill used stones to grind either barley or wheat into flour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The older sons of Edward Webster operated these mills with their father for some years; but on the death of Edward the Miller on Nov. 12, 1891, his son Robert R. Webster (1865-1956) took over their operation. Robert was married to Mary Dingwell (May) who was sister of my father, James E. Dingwell. They were the children of George H. Dingwell (postman), whose wife was Margaret Dingwell. Margaret, the daughter of Charles Dingwell and Mary Dingwell - nee Webster. She was the sister of Edward the Miller.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> After Robert took over the operation of the mills he did extensive renovations. With the lumber mill he put a modern gate type water wheel; also a rotary or circular saw and carriage; as well as adding a shingle mill. In the flour mill, the stones to be recut or sharpened at intervals. The last time this was done was by a man named MacLeod from Strathcona, who was a professional stone cutter. This information was told to me by Mr. Webster himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> About the year 1912, Robert bought a roller mill that had been built on the River John in Nova Scotia. he had it dismantled by a man in Nova Scotia, who re-erected it for Robert on the previous site of the flour mill, on the Marie River. Because the mill was new, the 35-horsepower water wheel did not have enough power to operate it successfully. So, R.R. as he was known, purchased a steam engine and boiler and had it installed in a shed on the side of the mill. Since it was fifty horsepower engine, it had plenty of power, but not everyone could fire the boiler properly, with the slabs from the saw mill. I have been told that a young lad by the name of Douglas Sanderson was the only one who could do this adequately. Doug, as he is called, now lives in Cable Head. The mill operated by steam for a few years; as it became older and worn, needing less power, it was then operated by water power for it's duration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> As well as milling, Robert Webster made brick. The last kiln of brick was moulded by Alan MacDonald, one of the "strong MacDonalds." The clay for the brick was dug just west of the mills in a field - the hollow can still be seen to this day. I cannot recall the exact number of bricks Mr. Webster told me was in the kiln, but it was up in the thousands. The bricks were baked or burned right on the site, using hardwood for fuel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> After the war of 1914-1918, Robert's son William (1896-1969), took over the operation of the saw mills. Later, about 1930, when Robert retired from milling and moved to Midgell, Wilbur, who was married to the former Ida Jay took over the operation of the flour mills and operated them until the early 1940's. At this time, because of a failure in the wheat crops and other reasons, the flour mill never started again. Wilbur continued to operate the saw mill on a part-time basis until failing health forced his retirement in the 1960's. Somewhere around 1965, the Dept. of Highways built a new dam up stream from the old dam and put a bypass in for the fish to go from river to dam and vice-versa. About this time Wilbur's son, Garth, operated the saw mill part-time for a few years, using a gasoline engine for power. Today (1980), what was once Webster's Mills, is just a pile of rubble in the stream of Marie River.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Part of this story are from tales my father remembered as told to me; other parts were told to me by Robert R. Webster, whom always called Uncle Rob since his wife was my Aunt May, a very dear old lady whom I will never forget. Other part are memories of my own.</span>Wilbert Jefferyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12265267794199498998noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4409714960689100158.post-74454688874324449712019-11-06T17:45:00.000-04:002019-11-06T21:06:34.117-04:00Former Cutcliffe house demolished <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The former Frank and Winnifred (McDowell) Cutcliffe home at Fredericton corner was demolished on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. A young couple had purchased it a few years ago and during Hurricane Dorian it sustained too much damage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The photo below was taken in the summer of 2007.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> When the Cutcliffe house was built it was the largest in the community. Frank Cutcliffe had a store between the house and the Malpeque Road (Rte.2). They were successful merchants. After the Cutcliffe's the store was operated by Martin Jorgensen and at one time the store was an antique shop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> On Nov. 7, 1935 the Guardian newspaper report, <i>"The members of the Pleasant Valley United Church Women (UCW) held a very successful chicken supper at the spacious home of Mr. & Mrs. Frank Cutcliffe. The ladies served supper to about 170 people. An enjoyable social evening was spent in music and games. A substantial sum was realized for the church. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. & Mrs. Cutcliffe for their hospitality."</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In the late 1960s or early 1970s the house was bought by two couples, one by the name of Pryor from Quebec and was turned into an inn. It was famously known as the Seven-Keys Inn. The end of the house facing the road featured seven large wood keys fanned out. The seven rooms for rent were decorated differently in styles from around the world.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The following photos were taken in the summer of 2007 when Route-2 Highway in Hunter River was widened. In the photo below the former Cutcliffe house is on the left and across the street, Fredericton Station Rd., was the old Howard Weeks home. Howard was a master carpenter and built many houses in the area in the early 1900s. The Malpeque Rd. (Rte. 2) is at the bottom of the photo. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> That summer of 2007 many, many buildings in Fredericton along Rte. 2 highway were torn down or moved - it surely changed the look and feel of the community.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Below the beige house was the first Fredericton School turned into a house where Whitfield and Daisy Abbott lived. To the right was the old Fredericton Hall.</span><br />

The house at the top of the driveway was the former Church of Christ manse where Miller and Francis lived and their son and daughter-in-law lived in the old house. The old house was torn down to make way for a new house and the bungalow was moved to Hazel Grove. </span></div>

The church is located on Route 14 in St. Lawrence in western PEI. This little church was part of the Alberton-Elmsdale Pastoral Charge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Though it might seem insignificant, the church had a very interesting history as outlined in a 20-page booklet celebrating their 100th anniversary in the summer of 1981.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Below are photos I took of the church last week.</span><br />

I took these photos on Apr. 11, 2004 from the road before the leaves came onto the trees - the house was quite a distance from the road.<br />
The 1880 Meacham's Atlas of PEI shows John Forsyth Jr. living here with 104-acres.<br />
The 1928 Cummin's Atlas of PEI shows John W. Forsyth living here with a bit more acreage. It notes his wife, Martha Minnetta Hodgson and their four daughters: Margaret, Jean, Mary and Dorothy. (Margaret never married; Jean married Lloyd Wilkie; Mary married Russell Lockerby; and Dorothy married Leslie Hardy).<br />
The last person to live in this house was Margaret Forsyth. I believe she passed away in the mid-1980s. She was the secretary for the Town of Alberton for many years. No one lived here following her passing. The contents of this house were sold. By chance I found a box of 1940's Christmas cards at Riverview Antiques and bought them. <br />

This house displays two eras in architectural periods and style. The original house is the kitchen wing (left) to the rear of the main house (right) and was built in the "center-dormer style" in the 1850s. The main part of the house was built later, possibly around 1900 when a new generation might have taken over the homestead.<br />

It's interesting to read the lament of a Guardian correspondent 91 years ago about the loss of old buildings.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Since 1873 the
Province has lost scores of carriage-building shops and saw and grist mills,
also scores of carriage-buildings, carpentering and blacksmith shops and its
only woollen factory. Cutting away limited forests has made us more and more
dependent upon imported coal for fuel. And we have lost our luscious and once
world-famous Malpeque oysters. On the other hand we have gained a silver
fox-breeding and fur-farming industry of great value, the benefits of which we
are now shared by many nations.”</i> -The Charlottetown Guardian, June 30, 1928

They had 12 children: Azzur, Hubert, Herbert, Esther, Duncan, Andrew, John, Janie, Wallace, Henry, Ada and Horatio.</span></div>
