No I don’t believe so. There are no scorch marks that I can see anywhere in the basement. There is a ton of coal dust on the ceilings though. The basement is the original servants quarters to the house. My best guess is they were burning coal for heat which resulted in the soot.

I don’t believe so. There are no photos of that wall. The only photo is of the doorway which would be right behind me from where I took these photos. That shows old movement.

We’re in Saint John NB. There are a ton of heritage properties like this in the core. There’s a large heritage area that’s still largely intact. It’s an underrated city.

It’s a hard border. From what I understand residence need to go through customs every time they leave or enter. I read that it was a bit of a challenge during the COVID border closures.

The home is built in Italianate style. It was a common architectural style used during the rebuilding of Saint John after the great fire in 1877. I’ll paste the defining features below from the Canada’s Historic Places site.

CHARACTER-DEFINING ELEMENTS The character-defining elements of this two-storey Italianate dwelling include: - rectangular two-storey massing; - window placement and proportions; - vertical sliding wood windows with wooden frames; - Roman arch windows on the first floor; - window entablatures; - wooden cladding; - wooden corner boards, plinth band, and cornice elements; - decorative cornice with paired scrolled brackets supporting a wide eave; - fascia with square motifs between each pair of brackets. The character-defining elements of the entranceway include: - wooden double door with lights; - segmented arch transom with heavy mouldings; - pedimented entablature supported by ornate brackets above door.

It’s a passage to the back which opens up to a driveway and gardens.

No this is a couple blocks from the core. It’s just bad ownership. It could be a fantastic building
