This quaint stone and brick house with a distinctive mansard roof at Boissevain, in the Municipality of Boissevain-Morton, currently sits vacant as a result of petroleum contamination on its grounds. Built in 1895, the original owner was liveryman and auctioneer J. T. Elliot associated with Walker Brother’s Livery. Later occupants included William Gordon, a Scottish settler who established a furniture business in town, and Mrs. Ellen Knittel of the Queen’s Hotel.
