"This old mansion stood, until three or four years ago, on Sandwich Street, between Moy and Gladstone, being torn down by the syndicate that purchased the Davis form (sic) for a residential subdivision. It was known as “Moy House”, and was over 100 years old, having been built about 1796, and occupied by Angus Macintosh, factor of the Hudson Bay Company. The lumber was of the choicest walnut, having been secured from the virgin forest, and sawn by hand. It was here that Angus Mackintosh brought his young wife, a pretty French girl names Archange St. Martin. It was here also that the Indians brough their furs and made their barter. When Angus Macintosh was recalled to Scotland to take possession of the Moy estate left by his father, the laird of Moy, he sold the property to William Hall, then a government clerk. From him the property was bequeathed to his ward, who married the late John Davis."
