A large wharf is pictured on the waterfront in an 1878 map of the area.

HISTORY: Built in the 1800’s close to the St. John River and not far from the mouth of its tributary, the Nashwaak River, this property was central to major commercial activity in its day . Originally a two family home, it had a second level attached out house with a sluice way to the ground level. It was purchased by Fredericton Housing Ltd. in 1959. At this time they replaced the old foundation, removed the outhouse and renovated the old house, known as The Beehive, into six large apartments. The construction company was building single family homes in Fulton Heights, Nashwaaksis at the time and expanded into apartment rental development (Fredericton Rentals Ltd.) to keep its skilled workers employed in the winter months.
