After Photos-Perth Remembered
THE LITTLE RED HOUSE. Postcard from 1907 showing the oldest house in Perth. The Fraser Home as it was known in 1963 at 65 Craig Street was built of logs in 1816. Constructed by Lieut. John Adamson the house has served at various times as tavern, school, church, public hall, masonic lodge and printing office. Rev. William Bell held his first services in the attic of this house and Rev Michael Harris use the same quarters for his Anglican serves for three years, 1819-1822. A mid-19th-Centruy fire partly damaged the house and H.R.H. the Prince of Wales suggested in the course of a visit in 1860 that the exterior be clapboarded and pained red. This was done five years later. Perth Remembered
