- Notes
- This home is best remembered as the Lizzie Paul home on Lot 11 on the southwest corner of Ahmic and Mary Streets in Ahmic Harbour.
After purchasing the Clark home and boarding house in 1907, Art and Josephine (LaBrash) MacDonald built a large frame second home adjoining the former Clark home. The result was two homes effectively straddling lots 10 and 11. Sometime in the 1930’s the more westerly home (lot 10) was demolished and the property served as a garden for the easterly home.
In 1912, after the death of Art Macdonald, Josephine MacDonald sold the home on lot 11 to Thomas Croswell. In 1931 Thomas Croswell sold the property to Emma Charlotte Moulton who may have already been living in the house. In 1935, Emma bought the lot across the street (on the north side of Ahmic Street) where the former James Croswell home had stood and subsequently built a small home there. In 1942 Emma Moulton sold the above property and premises to Richard and Elizabeth Paul as joint tenants. This large frame house, on the southwest corner of Ahmic and Mary Streets is best remembered as the home of Lizzie Paul and family.
