The house is now torn down and made into a parking lot along with the bowling green. The house was owned by the company as were all the others going up Strange St. to Glasgow, and then down Glasgow to the railway. When dad died we were forced to move, down Strange St. to the white house beside the Kitchener waterworks station at the lower end of Strange St. near Victoria. Number "35"- the house is still there.
