Most of the labor was done free by the resi- dents of the district. Bees were organized for digging the base- ment, hauling stone and brick, cutting stone 'and other tasks. Finding the right kind of stone for the foundations proved to be something of a problem, as the common- field stone proved un- suitable for the 'purpose. How- ever, thig problem was solved When it was found that suitable stone could be taken from the river nearby Maitland River and still better stone could be taken from the river at Ball's Bridge. It was no light task to remove these stones from the river, haul them to the building site and dress them for use, but many willing hands completed the tasks: The red brick for the ornamental trimming was obtained from the brickyard at Henfryn in Grey Township. A rather humerous story is nS4tiected with the red-brick. Xbotit 2500 of theM were required and accordingly two men were de= tailed to team them from Hen- fryn, about thirty miles away. HoWever, the distance of travel made it necessary to stay over night at Brussels. When they were ready to leave in the morn- ing, foi"bome unaccountable rea- son they forgot where they were to obtain the bricks and the name of the manufacturer. After some enquiries, they were advised that Gorrie was the place red brick, were manufactured. Upon ar- riving in Gorrie the owner of the brickyard informed them he had no order and moreover he did not have 2500 •bricks to give them. However, they, might try Henfryn brickyard, At the name of Henfryn they remembered this was the place they were to go for Sunday.
