Revision as of 20:37, 10 January 2006
This is the address of our house in Charlottetown. Built in 1827 by builder Henry Smith (who, with his brother Isaac Smith, built Province House and Fanningbank), the house is a small Georgian-style building set close to the street. We're fortunate to have a large back yard that extends almost all the way to Hensley Street in the back.
