Historic Joseph F. Allison House - 131 Main Street Sackville New Brunswick

 

Joseph F. Allison House is a beautiful late Georgian House built about 1841, with a major addition in the same style, built in 1997. The house is located on Main Street, Sackville, with a view of the Ladies’ College Park on the grounds of Mount Allison University  HistoricPlaces.ca - HistoricPlaces.ca

Property is a beautiful historic heritage home and it is across from the Mount Allison University's "swan pond" -- the home is now owned by local developer/builder John Lafford.... and it was previously owned by the late Gordon Hallet Beal

John Lafford Purchased Historic Property at 131 Main Street Sackville New Brunswick Property in 2022



Lafford's smartgrowth development next to University's "Swan Pond" increasing "density" downtown.


 Lafford [a "preferred developer"] has purchased the iconic property that had been owned by Gordon Hallet Beal who passed away in 2021...

Mansion house is known as Joseph F. Allison House, according to historicplaces.ca.

Students being evicted in the winter was not a good look for our town at all...

"Planner Lori Bickford says a complaint came in to her office this summer about renovations happening at 131 Main Street, without a building permit. That complaint led to an inspection, the discovery of the zoning infraction and safety issues, and the town issuing an order in August. After the Beals failed to comply, the town took them to court."

More here on what Mr. Beal - who had tried to develop the property with rental suites - was put through by current 'management' and Jamie Burke CAO of the Town of Sackville:

John Lafford has a lot of properties in town and is a very wealthy businessman/developer/builder - including his new "Three Sisters on the River" Moncton development - a massive undertaking sure to provide much needed housing units - article here:

I've often thought how amazing a 17-storey highrise in Sackville would be one day-- with stunning, panoramic views I'm sure there are lots of people who would love to live in a very roomy, sunny, airy, luxury suite with views to the north, south, east and west including terraces, balconies for additional space in outdoor living and for growing plants and veggies and relaxing in fresh air spaces... that would be incredible!  Will John Lafford be inspired to build the "first one" in Tantramarshire.

Lafford says he plans to use the 131 Main Street property for a boutique hotel for the town that the visiting Mount Allison University Alumni would enjoy and he hasn't ruled out putting in some rental housing there also because it makes a good location for residences.... interview by Erica Butler here:
