Alex Nichol's home

The white clapboard house, shown on the right in both photos, was moved from its picturesque location overlooking the Cornwall Canal at Mille Roches. In Mille Roches, it was identified as the Alex Nichol home and the 49th to be moved in the Ontario Hydro relocation project of the 1950s. The house was identified as SL 409, and Hydro had purchased it at some time before its move, as they intended to have it as a "Stop-over house", following its relocation to Long Sault. The house was lifted off its old foundation, moved, and then placed on its new foundation on Lot 398 on September 11, 1956. On June 7, 1957, Hydro rented the home to J. Alex and Evelyn (Fickes) Campbell. Bryan and Norma (Quinn) Barker and Ken and Doreen (Ward) Losey were long-time owners of this home, and the occupants in 2021 are Grant Wilson and Karly Girard. Hugh Warner is building his home, next door.
