Background: in 2007, I rode my bike around the perimeter (minus a gap between Halifax and Yarmouth). In Marshalltown, I discovered a very small painted house referenced to Maud and Everett Lewis, but with no information. I was curious. Later I found a garment tag with some information which I copied into my journal word for word. There was an exhibit at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. I didn’t get to the museum in 2007, today I accomplished that goal.


The house was dismantled, moved to Halifax, and restored.


Maud, with undiagnosed juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, painted everything she could using what she had available-mostly marine paint.

The front door, both sides, was painted several times.
