The "Doctors"
or "Geggie" Home, also called "The Maples",
was built in 1896 for Dr. Hans Stevenson, for a cost of two thousand
dollars. The architect was Moses Edey, who also designed the Aberdeen
Pavilion in Ottawa. The building housed the office, dispensary,
examination & operating rooms for the doctors practice, as well
as the family residence. Dr. Harold Geggie, Dr. Stevenson's assistant,
purchased the property after the former's death in 1911.The house
remained as the Doctors home in the Geggie family until 1980. At
that time it was transformed into a beautiful bed & breakfast
country inn, while keeping the original features of a neo-Queen
Anne Victorian mansion.
