Arnold's House in Canadian Home & Country 2003

I was looking for some old photos and came across this article which was in the Canadian Home & Country Magazine in the summer of 2003.

Arnold's house - more photos

Here's another of my favourite photos - taken of Arnold's house across the farm field.  I was out helping him move sandstones for a rock wall he was building - it was a beautiful late May day a few years ago.  The gold colour of the house makes it stand out again the dark green trees behind and perfectly suites the surrounding landscape.

Earlier I told of the new door Arnold had made by Borden Myers Woodworking in Charlottetown  - it was built to replicate an old door he admired - note the stained glass. 

Arnold's main front door is a small bay vestibule with double narrow doors - they're original to the house.  He had new storm doors to protect the old doors.

A close look at the eave bracketing.

Arnold's House

Arnold did a tremendous job on moving and restoring his great-great-grandparents home!

The garage, porch and sunroom were added on.  The garage is sheathed with Board 'n Batten - the sunroom had its corners angled to match the existing bay window.

The traditional kitchen was restored and features the traditional wood stove, wainscotting, wood floors, stairs to bedroom above the kitchen, etc.

A welcoming entry - the main door was recreated new by Borden Myers Woodworking in Charlottetown to resemble an old door with stained glass he saw at a friends house on Fitzroy St. 

Arnold has style everywhere!

The house is situated on the side of a south facing hill - located much as it was originally on Pleasant Hill Farm
