On the job
Brad Fortin was sanding the new walls in the interior of the building last week while another
contractor was doing some bricking to the outside of the former Callander Nursing Home. The
building which has sat empty for two years is being remodelled as an apartment complex.
Tom Kerr, owner of the former Callander Nursing Homes says the apartments, presently
being constructed in the building will be ready to rent by November.

The white elephant is no more.
The former Callander Nursing
Home which has sat empty since
the end of September 1991, is get-
ting a major transformation. Ready
for occupancy by the beginning of
November will be five apartments,
reconstructed by Tom and Alan
Kerr of Listowel.
The building has sat empty for so
long that the owner was becoming
anxious to sell, Mr. Kerr says,
explaining why they decided to buy
it. "It was a good opportunity that
came up so we decided to go for it.
We were in the right place at the
right time," he said. The Kerrs have
built several four plexes and own a
commercial rental space, as well.
Their father Jim Kerr built and
owns the Maitland View Apart-
ments on Elizabeth St. in Brussels.
Renovations to the Callander
building began late this summer
with the gutting of the interior of
the newer portion though a few
walls were salvaged, Mr. Kerr said.
There is all new wiring, new
plumbing above the floor, new cup-
boards and floors.
There are four two-bedroom
units, built with an open concept
and one bachelor apartment. Rent
will be $500 per months plus elec-
tricity. The heat and hot water are
paid, Mr. Kerr says.
One apartment has already been
rented.
Mr. Kerr says there are no plans
as yet for the older part of the struc-
ture. "As soon as phase one is full
we will continue," he said, adding
that having applied for severances
for the rear property there will be
part of the building removed.
