    Notes:

    House:
    39 Doon Valley Drive is associated with three prominent citizens of Waterloo County. The first owner, the Honourable Adam Ferrie, was the founder of Doon Village. Samuel Snider, who purchased the property from Ferrie, owned the Blair Mill, as well as other mills that he and a partner operated in Bridgeport and Baden. Thomas Slee, one of the first trustees of the area, and the Doon Postmaster from 1867 to 1893, was the last significant owner of the property, purchasing it from Snider in 1878. In addition to its association with persons of historic significance, Doon Valley Drive (formerly Doon Village Road), was once an important linkage between the Village of Doon to Tow Town and Oregon (today Upper Doon).
    39 Doon Valley Drive is unique in its use of building materials and the methods of construction. This one-and-a-half-storey house combined granite, limestone, fieldstone and lime mortar in its construction. It retains many original, intact features, such as the stone chimney with cove moulding, and the single door with a transom, on the north façade.1a

    Notes:

    Mary Hannah, known as Hattie, moved with her husband and family from Ontario, to Manitoba in 1905. They moved to a farm in the Deloraine district. They purchased 31-1-24 in 1905, but continued to live in the Deloraine district while they broke the sod and built a house (1908) and barn and outbuildings(1911). There was no good well on the home quarter, but Wallaces were able to buy the quarter across the road, which had an exceptional well, which provided water to many around, including the town of Waskada. Hattie helped establish the Red Cross, the Patriotic Societies and the United Grain Growers. The focal point of their lives was the Presbyterian and later United Church. Hattie started the Addington Sunday School. She worked hard as a sufferagette in 1915,helping to earn women the vote. Something her daughter Mary was very proud of.
