restore and renovate the exterior. The exterior isn't phenomenal. She said yes, we replace shingles we fix the roof beams and it's really it's very impressive when you come up on the road in six three tears Hi, which rows are in row? Oh, yeah, of course the ambulance and apparently was named after the man by the name of D. And there may have been a school voice school and they don't I mean I don't know if it was a residential school if it was in fact a school school
Unknown Speaker 0:35
there are a lot of private schools.
Speaker 1 0:37
You it was a private school Susan's mother. Okay, Susan from here. And so I want to I want to find out about that because now stick around and you know, the size of the party feels like two or three acres. And apple trees and garden garden but the inside, because there have been so many people living there, through and she's had it now for for a while because, you know, when I first came to the island, I think that I may have gotten Sonia France to look at doing work for, like painting. And it was at the time just being kind of opened up in rooms prepared being prepared and gotten ready. And she was having electrical work done and we kind of stepped up. You know, it may have been 2002 2003 2004. Maybe not, you know, but I remember being upset and looking at it. And I think I was painted white. And Sonia was was we were considering it. There was a lot of other work going on. On the interior. Is
Unknown Speaker 1:58
it a long driveway enough?
Unknown Speaker 2:00
Yes.
Speaker 2 2:01
Let's see. It's not the house is that one picture of 129 teen Road, okay, and
Speaker 1 2:06
you literally come up Dean road, and where there's a turn to the left side of the street. I don't know. The end of the note, down a cul de sac that is part of the bishop does its work.
Speaker 3 2:25
But it's because it's kind of lost in there now is what I was thinking. Yeah.
Speaker 1 2:29
There's another further property on the left hand side. And that belongs to Paul, can you go to
Unknown Speaker 2:39
the View? You want to see the satellite? Yeah. Sorry. I told you. The words. Even had a busy weekend Purdue road comes off of it. So whereabouts
Unknown Speaker 2:52
because I've seen pictures. I haven't seen it for years like
Speaker 1 2:55
this, okay? No, no. So this is key. Okay, here's, here's the cool desaturated ends. You see this driveway here. That's Paul's driveway. The driveway to 129 begins literally here. You This is the main road you come up and then this box is Purdue. So right here is a kind of a gravel. This begins the long drive to the road and it ends right here. And this is the house right here. Right and
Unknown Speaker 3:26
you can just barely see it through from the main road right.
Speaker 1 3:31
Thick and it's hilly, there's a big garden here. Now this is pretty much berries and all sorts of trees, apple trees. This I think is already on the next property. Yeah. For Purdue. Purdue it's an old
Speaker 2 3:44
this house you're coming up to the gate house or something. No, that's,
Speaker 1 3:49
that's another problem. Yeah, this is Paul. Yeah. This is already the driver to Paul's house really tucked into that word. Does
Unknown Speaker 3:59
the Irish fellow live there and that
Unknown Speaker 4:01
that Dean house the
Speaker 1 4:03
Dean house? You mean? What's his name? Dennis. Yes. A meditator? Yes. Yes. Yeah, he does.
Unknown Speaker 4:10
driven him home a couple. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 4:15
Jane, Jane used to be there for a long time. And in fact, Jane's grandfather owned the house for a while.
Unknown Speaker 4:27
I'll get the name shortly.
Speaker 1 4:29
So when Jane's grandfather owned it, she used to go to visit and stay in the country. And in fact, when she moved she was one of the first tenants and Oh, wow. Look at that. Where'd you get although? Wow, wow. Wow, I
Speaker 2 4:52
have to see all those. Yeah. So set them all up. 129 days fabulous. So somebody's taking
Speaker 1 5:02
wire see this, this this house, it looks like it's a phenomenal house gorgeous. You know? So it's three like and high ceilings. These are old for exactly that. You're standing like where the three, three, but the inside really need some TLC now they replaced all the windows of the outside is tickety. Boo, as you see the inside we need to do something.
Unknown Speaker 5:32
any is there any update on the bottom of that
Unknown Speaker 5:34
we need to do so.
Unknown Speaker 5:36
Is this your host? Inside? Well? Yes, I'm
Speaker 1 5:39
renting a little room. And I'm like if you're at the top? No, I'm not at the top. I wish I will.
Speaker 3 5:47
Usually you might have more interesting. Ah, interesting. Sorry.
Speaker 1 5:51
Oh, she's still alive, which God bless you should be 100. The two top rooms? Yeah, I'm used to that. Like, there are two top rooms Rayners on one side and a one binder of Anna who I haven't met yet. Has the top and then there's a third room between where the where this balcony is
Speaker 3 6:13
to end other possible that we have an interview or something. I mean, Sue's talking to someone through that house. I wonder if she did an interview or talk or something that's recorded.
Speaker 2 6:23
The women that were a little older lady that you said was 100. Now maybe she might have done an interview.
Speaker 1 6:30
And then there's a there's a balcony. All this here is a balcony. Wrap around this wait a minute, see if there's a sign that I can show you where I'm staying to school and I'm staying sort of in a place oh this is the side that faces and produces anybody? Exactly. That's your little dog. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait. Yes, that's
Unknown Speaker 6:59
that's the front of the house. That was not Beans.
Unknown Speaker 7:01
Oh, no, that's on the other side.
Speaker 2 7:03
Well, it looks like the front. Just because you can see the pillow isn't good. It
Speaker 1 7:07
is. And this is the entryway to the to the laundry room here. So back here, this is the house facing Purdue. This is a window to Dennis's room. There's another unit out here.
Speaker 3 7:19
But you think you made a connection that we could find out more about but it's interesting because
Speaker 1 7:25
that was there because there was there was an office and Tuesday as an office. Now there's a rose bush. It's a bower. Bower the whole Bush is extending from here to here to here. We
Unknown Speaker 7:41
need some updated photos. So yes, yeah,
Speaker 3 7:43
we could do so many photos. But would you just make a note sumo and we were just at her anyway. And maybe that could be a thing we
Speaker 1 7:50
do with Kate. So, you know, in fact, when I spoke to Nettie and told her that I just want to know about the house. Do you
Unknown Speaker 7:58
have a computer access to
Unknown Speaker 8:00

Unknown Speaker 13:53
so wouldn't be judged.
Speaker 1 13:56
Could be achievement, could could very well be because the grandfather grandfather sounds great. And they lived initially on Pender Galliano Galliano. So that's the one. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 14:09
Like the pieces are fitting together. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 2 14:12
How so? You're just really well, you know, I
Speaker 1 14:16
went to the museum. Oh, cool. Because they said well go to the museum and see what you can find out on the street on the Chamber of Commerce. We better talk to I know the first thing they said well, you go to the archives Okay, that's exactly what to the Museum of course.
Unknown Speaker 14:36
All those are and by appointment, so that's fine. In fact,
Speaker 1 14:39
they knew someone up here they the museum probably Sue Johnson. The chamber of Congress knew there was this lovely woman with a round face and freckles and funny glasses is short choppy here. She said we know someone there and we could recommend but
Speaker 2 14:59
Susan BB are both quite involved with the chamber and they're both up here sometimes.
Speaker 1 15:03
So I went to the museum and I said, Oh, no, sorry. The archive is the best best bet me. And then of course, Jane, but Jane won't talk to anyone. She's because they forced her out. I said, Maybe I mean, I don't know. He's
Unknown Speaker 15:22
so Jane still around.
Speaker 1 15:23
Yes. Apparently. That's what I asked now, apparently, but Alyssa, not elusive? No, she's living somewhere else. And in fact, I saw her getting running kind of cross passages. She doesn't even saying hello. You know, the storage in my things locked in the locker storage. I lived there for a while.
Unknown Speaker 15:45
I did. Yeah.
Speaker 3 15:47
You know, okay, there's another project the heritage houses as we named them. Yes. The history of them. Yes. We
Speaker 2 15:52
get a lot of questions. You get a lot of questions. And we ended up putting little things together for individual people in a way to start a project.
Speaker 1 16:01
Yeah. Well, you know, the other thing I was thinking about is the historical Historical Society. Yeah. I was gonna call them. That's
Speaker 2 16:07
all that you. Yeah. Well, the Historical Society is our charity that runs us.
Unknown Speaker 16:16
A name be confused with a hysterical society.
Speaker 4 16:18
There's one of those today I went, okay. It is different though. They are different. They're a little bit funnier.
Unknown Speaker 16:27
Because that's what I call the historical but I think they are harvest. And then who's the other guy?
Unknown Speaker 16:34
Is he the one who does he hysterical? Well,
Unknown Speaker 16:38
it's not here anymore. So. Oh, he's
Unknown Speaker 16:40

Unknown Speaker 16:43
Oh, God, no. Murders. Yeah, he's
Unknown Speaker 16:45

Speaker 2 16:56
I'm like, what is the president of the Historical Society? Okay, so,
Unknown Speaker 16:59
so you wouldn't know?
Speaker 2 17:02
Probably just tell us to find out. Okay, you can Yeah, if anything goes to bob up very quickly shoves it over to Fred. Because the guy who was in the
Speaker 1 17:14
new presentation we do at the cinema for school, at the school over there. Yeah. So that would be lovely. You know, here's your next topic for heritage home. That would be Rachael. Oh, and my question Tober My next question is you know the house I'm bitten courtroom. That was the woman the women's shelter. That tutorial with the Victoria Humane Society that Patricia Fitzgerald managed for a while is that in any way related to the dean house? No, that's a different house that was was that a house that was built and then moved to Bittencourt?
Unknown Speaker 17:59
I don't know. No, I
Unknown Speaker 18:00
think it was there.
Speaker 1 18:02
It was there because it also has a similar structure. The same cedar the same wraparound porches facing the water either the same building I don't know if it's heritage and
Speaker 2 18:19
