Dreemskerry was built in 1923 as a
wedding gift for the daughter of a local lumber baron. Located at the corner
of Rockland Avenue and St. Charles, the home was christened "Dreemskerry",
Manx Gaelic for "Ridge by the sea," by Maureen and Bryan Stoodley,
the current owners and reflects their Manx heritage and origins in the Isle
of Man. Architecturally, the house is officially described in Canada's
archives as an authentic Georgian Cape Cod Mansion House.

The superb quality of the first cut timber, coved ceilings and fabulous
finishing materials shines throughout the home -- a gracious tribute to the
charms and elegance of the era.
Relax in our evening drawing room, enjoying pleasant conversations
with other guests and your hosts, Bryan and Maureen Stoodley.
