Description

A Black and white photograph of the McKnight home and a short written report about the address of the home. The house is a two story wooden building. The first floor has a wrap around porch and a swing seat. The grass and the bushes have become over grown. It's possible no one was living in the home when the picture was taken.

George McKnight built this house in 1913. Thelma Baird inherited the house and she rented to Mr. Paget at one time for the winter months. Mr. & Mrs. Allen Quick owned or rented the house in the late 1940's. He was a teacher at the school.

Jim and Hilda McAmmond purchased the house and lived here until they passed away. At that
time, Hilda's daughter, June Mater, inherited the house and still resides there.

It is a frame two-story building with basement; new siding has been installed. At one time the
veranda went around from the side door across the front.

Manny DaSilva bought this property in 2001."
