`The Cedars’, February 1980

I owned this house, located about fifty miles south-west of Montreal at 4359 Route 138, from June 1979 to June 1997 when I returned to live in Montreal. The house was about 100 years old when I bought it; the best thing about the house is that it was adjacent to the Trout River; an old barn (to the right of the house above) burned down around 1985 and was replaced with a post and beam barn of the same size as the original barn. We sold the house and the new owners lasted about two years and then sold it; whoever bought the house a few years ago totally demolished the interior and renovated the place, nothing of what was once there is still present.
