Info on our home

Our business is run out of a beautiful house located in the heart of Fredericton. While the original build date is not known, the fireplace found in the waiting room has “1854” engraved on the inside. It can be assumed this was the construction year of the house. However, similar homes in downtown Fredericton that share a nearly identical structure could put 161 Northumberland’s construction year as far back as the 1830’s (Nearly 200 years old!).

The exterior design of the house has remained virtually unchanged since its original construction. The exterior still boasts wooden siding along with its original shutters, windows and details that have survived for generations. We continue to maintain these elements as it is important to us preserve the house’s original and historic look.

One interesting oddity in the design is found on the roof above the front porch. When you look up, you will see an unusual “hipped dormer” that appears to have shutters closed over a window. These shutters are actually permanently closed and no window can be found behind them! It is unknown if it was a part of the original build or added shortly after. The only known addition are the two back rooms of the house, performed by a previous owner.
