-- 'Brackenwood Cottage' on Wharf Avenue
This
cottage, built in 1896 and situated on Herbert Whitaker's farm
lands on the east side of Wharf Avenue, was rented by him to various
tenants including telegraph operators Charles Bradbury (1913-1914)
and George Wood (1920s). Note the single telegraph line and the
orchard where the Union Steamship Company built some of its rental
cottages. The pump house on the west side of the avenue supplied
water for farm use. The well was located immediately west of the
present day Bank of Montreal building on the northwest side of
Cowrie Street and Wharf Avenue.
