| Commentaires : | A common household item from the 1830's to the 1850's. This candle stick, or holder, is on display in the kitchen of the Doucet House. This artefact is reminiscent of a style that may have been originally used in this early Acadian home. As one of the most historic buildings on Prince Edward Island, the Doucet House is certainly the oldest house in the Rustico area and quite possibly in the whole province. The Doucet family owned the house from around 1770 until 1982. The house was originally situated on Grand-Père Point (Cymbria) and was continually inhabited by descendants of Doucet families until 1982 when it was acquired by John Langdale who used it as a summer residence. When the latter decided to build a new home on the site, he stated his intention to either demolish it or give it to a person or party who would move it to another site. The Friends of the Farmers' Bank accepted the offer and the house was moved to a site adjacent to the Farmers' Bank in December of 1999. |
