1950s House, Kingsboro

This great little 1950's house is located on the East Point Road (Route 16) in Kingsboro, just after the turn off to Basin Head Fisheries Museum and Beach. The house overlooks the Northumberland Strait to the south, from the rear of the house.
Yet another abandoned Island home! This house has nice detailing, especially with the pitched roof, side square bay, roof dormer and the multi-window north-facing sunporch.

Immediately beside the house, to the west, is the Singing Sands Inn...

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
