St. Lawrence Seaway – house moving, and the RH Saunders Dam.

To make way for Lake St. Lawrence it was necessary to relocate some 6,500 people and their homes, I was told that this house fell off the house mover on its way to its new location.

This photograph and the ones that follow were donated in 2017 by Don Finch of Phoenix (formerly) of Cornwall.  Don’s father Norman L. Finch, took these photographs – he also taught Motor Mechanics at CCVS for 19 years, in which time he organized a night school driving class;  he was a Captain  with the SD & G Highlanders.  Mr. Finch died suddenly in 1958.
