History-In early 1878 Mr. Thompson, then a well known and successful business
man in the area, purchased the land where the existing house sits, from the
local inhabitants, and set out to build the house, taking two years to complete
the original structure. In 1880 it was sold to Mr. William Bruce Wood, who
lived in the house until the early 1900s. A local businessman and owner of the
creamery in St. George purchased the property, occupying in it till the
1940’s. The house was then sold to the Nesbit family who lived
in the house till late 1999.
James Didmon restored the William B. Wood house in 1907 and opened a butcher
shop in an detached building to the West of the house. Fabulous fenced, totally
private backyard, large deck and lots of parking.
