The two storey wood-frame Surrey farm house was in-built 1894 by John Stewart, who immigrated to Canada from Scotland, for his spouse Annie Stewart and their two sons, William James and John Massey. John married Annie 10 years prior in Nanaimo, and the household lived in the home for decades.

Loose and lacking floorboards, an enormous mound of grime that regarded like a packed down grave, and an previous tattered hangman’s noose are a few of the issues Berge noticed, she says.
