The B 'n' B I was raving about in the previous post is called Brennan's.
Another interesting feature it has is the curved windows in the front. During a walk into town we noticed this is not uncommon in old houses in Fredericton. There must have been a very skilled glass maker in town at that time.
This house was built by the Chestnut family (of the Chestnut canoe fame) who were hardware merchants. As soon as I had heard a bit of the house's history I started more closely at the details. I found even the hinges on the doors are engraved.
The radiators have abstract floral designs on them.
I wished I had more time to explore the house but we had to hit the road and move on. There were still lots of leaves to look at.
