Acquiring the Ferland House
During one of Nicole’s visit to Haileybury, Jack Perry, the harbourmaster of the time, pointed out to a magnificent historical residence on Millionaires’ row, which was at the time for sale. Before long, she had made an offer on the house, planning to convert it into an accommodation for executives travelling in the region. At the time she did not really know that the house had been built in 1906 by Arthur Ferland, owner of the Matabanick Hotel, one of the first mine owners in Cobalt, and a great community leader of the time.
