Garrett in the London Free Press work was accom- experienced no moving and rais- On the fourth concession of Bid- dulph Township, just south of Lucan village, is located a rather unique residence which, although intended for a summer home, is now used as a year-’round dwelling. It is a log house which, has been transferred in to a modern bungalow. Several years ago R, G. Bland, of London, purchased the property and made plans to turn the neglected log structure into an attractive residence The building was moved and placed on a concrete foundation, through ly renovated, had a stone fireplace and chimney added, a large porch built, and hydro and a hot water heating system installed. The grounds were also beautified and stone gate posts, garage, etc, erected. The most of this plished in 1932. The new owner great difficulty in Ing the old structure in spite of its great weight. The heavy timbers were 'found to be as sound as when hewed from trees in the surrounding bush and the skilfully dove-tailed corners are especially interesting. This unique idea of transforming a Log house into an up-to-date summer home is one that might prove po;u- lar as it combines the picturesque ness of the pioneer dwelling with the conveniences and attractiveness of the modern residence. The writer was unable to learn the name of the man who originally built the house or the date of its erection. Some say it has been standing in the neighborhood of 100 years; others claim not so long. How ever, the names of Rhody Armitage, James Sheridan, George Banyon, Harry Siddall. Peter Butler and D. H, Porter are listed as previous own ers. The residence is now occupied by J. W. Simmons, formerly of Lon don. VEITCH — HUTCHINSON A quiet but pretty wedding solemnized on Saturday,.
