In 1898, James and Elizabeth Hanes sold Lots 43 & 44, Plan 21, on Walpole Street to Oscar and Ada Wieler, who built a two-storey house with a large front deck off the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oscar was a tinsmith and plumber who came to Huntsville in about 1890 from near Hanover, Ontario. He worked for White Brothers Hardware before starting his own business at 86 Main Street East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An 1894 advertisement in the Forester read, “Oscar Wieler, Main Street, manufacturer of cheap tinware, creamers, sap buckets, stoves for sale.” The business later moved to 30 Main Street East. Oscar married Ada Ullman of Huntsville, whose father was the stagecoach driver between Bracebridge and Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1908 the house was sold to Arthur Paget, who came to Canada in 1898. He sold the house in 1919 to Claude and Lillian Fowler, and then in 1921, it was sold to Kenneth and Lulu Rose. Kenneth was an engineer who had worked in Central and South America in railway construction. He came to Huntsville in 1923 as a district engineer for the Department of Highways and supervised the first government-improved roads in Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lulu died in 1931, and Kenneth remarried Beatrice Ireland. He died in 1940. In 1947, the house was sold to Bob and Jane Hutcheson, who made many changes. It was sold in 1961 to Robert S. Claus, who was a school inspector for the District of Muskoka. He was probably responsible for the additions to the north and back of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1982, Robert’s widow sold the house to Robert Roper and Margaret Armstrong. In 1985-86, it was sold to Giselind and Herbert A. Fuesor. In 1987, it was sold again to Thomas and Janet Roberts of Hillside, who made it into a duplex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
