The story

Christopher McLennan bought the lot in July 1897 and built the house, then sold it in 1900. Mrs. William Harding converted it to the small Sunnyside Hotel in 1913 and added the rear ell. After her death in the 1940s it went to her sister and brother-in-law, who used it as a private home until the 1980s. David Worthington bought it in 1996 and converted it to a bed and breakfast.
