There were other buildings on the move in the Stanley area too. In the early 1940’s a house and barn owned by Thomas Hiscott was moved from its location on the old Stanley Road (next to Earl Henry’s) to the property in BayView now owned by Bette Wygant. Wesley Cole was in charge of the move with the barn going first. Hilda (Hiscott) Fyfe remembers that she and her cousin stayed in the house during its move. They did the cooking for the working men. Albert Hiscott and Matthias Malone lived here after Thomas Hiscott. It is presently the home of Bette

Wygant.

Another house and out buildings owned by James Hiscott were hauled in 1922 from Theodore Pickering’s property on the west side of Anderson Creek to highway 6 where Captain Bart’s Adventure Park is today. The move was thought necessary because they were % of a mile

from the highway.

Some other houses moved included Dr. Stuart Simpson’s house from opposite the Stanley United Church to Fountain Road. John MacKay supervised the move. McAllisters live in the house today. Also a portion of Alfred and Karen Fyfe’s house was once on the west side of Stanley bridge. Alfred’s great grandfather, John Fyfe, moved it to its present site on the New

London Road. When the Campbellton Road changed, Frank Bell had to move his house across the road to its

present location. And Leonard Meek moved the McInnis house from its location near where Stanley Pottery is located today, to the east side of the bridge near William Gunn’s forge -

across from the school.

Jack MacKay moved a warehouse from the Stanley wharf to their property on Rattenbury Road. The building is now on Matthew and Ann MacKay’s property.
