Donald of New Liskeard and David of St. Catharines, two brothers Harold of Edmonton. _ Alberta _ and Robert of Courtney, B.C. You‘re right. The colour really isn‘t important.

No. 299 c 71 Cattie and Horses Fieldstone house serves as studioâ€"home for artist The exterior of the house is completely covered in field stone but parts have since been covered with siding by one of the owners. The interior has about 20 rooms and the original part of the house reflects the sturdiness and practicality characteristic of Menâ€" nonite architecture. Mr. Guilhauman and his family moved into the house in September of 1972 and have spent considerâ€" able efforts on its redecoration. Upstairs, the pine board floors which were heavily coated with paint have been stripped down and now look as they probâ€" ably did when they were first laid down 120 years ago. Mr. Guilhauman recently held an open house for his paintings in the house which was built in 1853 by a family of Mennonites. The date of construction of the first part of the house is engraved on one of the stones. Other stones embedded in the walls of later additions carry the dates 1872 and 1899. Said to be the oldest fieldstone farmhouse in Waterloo, the house on 320 Whitmore Drive in Colâ€" onial acres has become both home and studio to artâ€" ist Horst Guilhauman.

The door frames as well as some of the doors are still the originals and have the old fashioned latches rather than door knobs. Mr. Guilhauman said when they first moved into the house it was taken over by squirrels. The holes used by squirrels to get into the house have since been plugged up and Mr. Guilhauman has turned the upstairs into a place where he can creâ€" ate and display his works. He feels his old house does help to inspire him as an artist. ' ‘"Old houses have so much character‘‘ he said. ‘"‘There‘s more peace here than in the newer house we had and there‘s that certain feeling. When we moved in we really felt at home those first few days."‘ \Fesuec and? 407 HESPELER RD Hwy 24 â€" 1 m . $ Most Everything on wheels, for your camping enjoyment ‘ Canada‘s largest Sunkamper dealer "__Owned and operated by BOB JOSSLIN ER RD P.O Box. 908 S of 40M)GAI.T.
