Local resident Paddy Jameson Guerard has told us that her father, Frank Jameson, had this house built as a residence for the family. She says her father helped build this house.

Frank Jameson and his father, Ernest Jameson, operated Jameson Flour & Feeds, a feed store originally located at the corner of High Street and 1st Avenue and later located on Esplanade Avenue across from the Lung Fung Restaurant , 322 Esplanade Avenue. The Jameson business premises on Esplanade Avenue is no longer standing.
