This Queen Anne style house was built during the 1890's by Joseph Wesley
Knibbs (1869-1949), a mason by trade, at around the time he married Mary Francis
Wetherby. The land was originally purchased by his father, James Knibbs in
1866. James had sold part of the land in 1872 to a fellow
English immigrant, George Buckingham. and a separate part to another
neighbour, Ezrah C Ayer. In 1894, the land went full circle and was sold in
it's entirety, back to James Knibbs and his son Joseph. James quit-claimed his joint title to the property to Joseph in 1897. After Joseph died in 1949, the property was broken up among his heirs. Photograph by N Ainspan, April 1986. |
