This house at 17 Mille Roches Road, Long Sault, was built by Hugh and Alice (Allie) Warner in the 1920s at Mille Roches. In the Ontario- Hydro relocation in the 1950s, it was identified as SL 408 and the 48th moved into Long Sault. Mr. & Mrs. Warner left the house on September 7, 1956 and stayed at "Stop-over House" #64, 4 Frost Avenue. The house was lifted off its foundation and moved on September 11, 1956, and placed on its new foundation the following day. Hugh and Allie returned to the house on September 14, 1956. The relocation of this home became Ontario-Hydro's iconic photograph, for images have been used in many publications. It was moved with the brick exterior, fireplace, and brick verandah posts intact. It has been said the Hugh Warner would not allow for any knotty boards to be used in its construction, and the stair-case and room trim is of British Columbia fir. Jim & Paulette Brownell bought this home from the Warner estate in 1976, then sold to Bernard Gagne in 1988. Jim & Helen (Dawkes) Brown bought this house in 1996 then sold to Bernard & Osithe LeBlanc in 2000.

Howard E. Stansel, Mille Roches, and Dalton Vipond - c. WWII. The house behind these Servicemen was the 45th house relocated to Long Sault by Ontario-Hydro. It was originally located in Mille Roches, the home of Ross and Beatrice Alguire and family, although it was often identified as the Rossie Murdock family home and Russell Elliott family home. Mr. Murdock operated a store next door. The house was identified as SL 396 and moved to Lot 461 in Long Sault. The Alguire family left their home on August 30, 1956, and stayed at the Hydro "Stop-over " house at 33 Bethune Street, during the relocation. The house was moved on August 31,1956, and placed on its new foundation at 21 Mille Roches Road on September 5, 1956. The Alguire family returned to the house on September 7, 1956. We are not sure why it took so long to be placed on the new foundation. This was the Lyall Alguire family home for over a decade, and the Dunlop/D'Annibale family have lived here for many years, as well.
