A superb example of Queen Anne architecture built in 1895, this house was the home of Henry and Helen Chestnut located at 146 Waterloo Row in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Henry was a well-known hardware merchant of the 19th and early 20th century in Fredericton, continuing his father’s firm of "R. Chestnut and Sons." He supplied equipment for lumbering, farming and sportsmen. Henry and Helen raised a large family of boys who were recognized as avid outdoorsmen. Two of these sons, Will and Harry, were among the first to patent the concept of a canvas covered canoe, and founded the Chestnut Canoe Company in 1904 within the upper floor of the Risteen Mill where they and their fathers were shareholders. Compositionally, this multi-shingled building is the most medieval of any of Fredericton’s Queen Anne Revival mansions, with the circular corner tower serving as an anchor upon which the whole design rests, its conical roof capped with an metal flag-like finial, a perfect visual metaphor for a castle turret. As the beautiful Saint John River was an inspiration in all seasons of the year, Will and Harry built their houses immediately next door at nos. 138 and 132 Waterloo Row respectively

The history of St. Paul's United Church, located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, begins in 1829 when a public meeting was held to discuss the building of a Presbyterian Church in Fredericton. In 1830 the first worship service was held and in 1832, the same year the church was incorporated, a request was made to the Glasgow Colonial Society for a minister. When St. Paul's celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1882, plans were under way for a new building. The architect in charge of the design was JC Dumaresq who had just completed another notable project – the design of the NB Legislature Building here in Fredericton. Bella Properties, a development company in Fredericton, New Brunswick, purchased St. Paul's United Church in July 2024. The church was sold after the congregation decided it could no longer afford the building's maintenance, which included a $2 million roof repair.

My latest creation for my Fine Art America website "Rivals Goe Toe to Toe" Serge Savard, Canadiens vs a Maple Leaf. This was taken at the Montreal Forum while I worked at the NHL's head office as their Statistical Researcher 1972-1980. https://render.fineartamerica.com/images/rendered/share/62932962?domainId=1&fbclid=IwY2xjawGkZ8ZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHchcwLwTr_gzhoU_ZSAgDoSHjmfAO-oXklAyEAyK2kWYhBajNwKGXmbAcg_aem_MyaYk4MDhaXN7r7usDG0Aw
