‘IISTORIC A Immediate renovations were needed By Marg Rowen - During the "dirty thirties" young couples usually lived with their parents or rented a few rooms in a large house. Apartments were scarce The two buildings on the east side orking near John St. were considered to be quite fashionable then, However, when Mr. and Mrs. Reid married in 1933 they bought the house at 15 John St. W. which had been constructed in 1874. It had been the farm house for the area and quite a few people had lived in it before the Reids purchased it. It needed major renovations immediately. The salnion coloured brick was badly worn and pitted so stucco painted gray was added. The triangular pediment over the dopr gas expored by removing a small open porch. The window frames were replaced, but the small panes were left intact. LIMrs. Reid especially liked the gothic church indow over the door. The wrought iron bars were added below the front windows. The trim around the garage door matches the front door trim. It is a centre hall plan. The two rooms on the right were made into one living room with the addition of a fireplace and a new chimney. The entire house had to be replastered.
