House for sale

An advertisement in the 10 April 1846 edition of the British Colonist, but paid for on the 26 March of that year, describes the Duke Street house. The ad reveals that the property was constructed to be one of the largest buildings in Canada at the time, and featured extensive agricultural improvements in the rear. The house is being sold by the O’Neill Brothers Auctioneers. Peter J. O’Neill lives next door and owns the property.
