| Description : | Wooden cabinet with 3 drawers at the bottom and 2 shelves plus the top. Primitive handmade from solid boards. The drawers have metal straps for handles, the drawers are slightly different in size with each one only fitting in it's own slot. The back of the cabinet is open, underneath the top there is a narrow wooden strip with screw holes to fasten the unit to the wall. |
| Commentaires : | Lee Arthurs said the cabinet came with his mother when they moved from the motherland (England) to Canada in the late 1800's. The cabinet was used in the Arthurs home in Bayswater for some time but eventually was moved out to the lumber shed. When Alberto and Terry Haslett were building their home in Summerville much of the lumber came from the Arthurs sawmill in Bayswater. On one occasion when getting lumber Alberto made a comment about the cabinet in the corner, Mr. Arthurs said if you want it you can have it and that's how the cabinet came to belong to the Haslett family. When Alberto moved from Summerville the cabinet went with her and now that she is living with her daughter in Burton NB she decided it was time to send the cabinet to a new home at the museum in Kingston NB. |
| Fonctions : | The cabinet was used by the Arthurs family in England, then later in Bayswater NB and finally by the Haslett's in Summerville NB. Originally used as a medicine cabinet and then as a curio cabinet. |
