History buffs may be interested to know that this house was owned and occupied by Hon. J. S. Currie. He was born in Carbonear in 1877 and died in 1956. The current owner bought the house from the Currie Estate in 1957. The land, on which the house was built, was originally part of the Winter Estate. Hon J. S. Currie was a local politician and journalist. He started work at the Daily News in 1894 when the publication was first launched. In 1913, he was elected to the House of Assembly as People’s Party Member for Burin. In 1919, he was appointed Minister without portfolio in the Cashin government and was defeated in the general election in November of that year. In 1932, he was appointed as a member of the Legislative Council. At the time of his death in 1956, he was the Publisher of the Daily News.
Gardeners will be delighted with this property. The vegetable plot is awaiting the green thumb and it already has a new crop of fresh rhubarb, and raspberry bushes are enjoying the southern exposure. In addition, there are black and red currant bushes bordering the rear fence. The garden is abundant with mature plantings including a variety of hedging, Copper Beech, Japanese Cherry, Rhododendrons, Hawthorne, and there are lots of perennials to enjoy.
