House Moved Behind Georgetown Hill for Safer Turn
A large white frame house owned by Mrs. Rose Ellis was moved back by the Department of Highways to allow a gentler bend on the approach to the new Georgetown bridge under construction. The home, once owned by the Laird Noble McPherson and Bidwell families, was moved about 14 years ago from its former location in Norval. The relocation aims to reduce local accidents at the current sharp corner and improve village safety.
