A Southern Home prepared for erection in a Southern city. The design contains many attractive features that cannot be shown in the illustration. It has a corner reception hall with paneled ceiling. Rooms good size, with narrow hall through to rear. The veranda is a special feature, being very wide and cool in Summer. The balconies also lend variety to the design, in both beauty and comfort. It is a frame house with 2x6 studding. Roof shingled. No cellar is included in the plan, yet as much cellar can be had as required at an additional cost of from $100 to $300. The open tower on third story can be reached from the attic and affords a good view over surrounding country. Size – 55 feet front and 70 feet deep over porches in their widest extensions; stories, 11 feet and 9 feet 6 inches. The kitchen is detached but joined by a wide porch to main house.
Built by Dalhousie contractor P. B. Troy who wrote Barber a letter of appreciation in 1905. Local historic resources identify Theodore Robitaille as the original owner but he died in 1897 which would have been around the earliest YOC's for this design. More likely is that Robitaille's estate sold the property to L. A. Billy around 1897 and construction began shortly thereafter. Normally, I only include original photos, however in this case, the AI doctored photos are to compelling too disregard.
