Left margin (below):  47 Churchill Street, Bridgewater, Lunenburg County,  Nova Scotia, (circa 1945).  This image has been painted by memory, namely not a visual, on site art piece.

Norman Arthur Elliott, husband of Frances Evelyn Elliott built this home for their family of four children: Gerald Forrester Elliott, Melanie Patricia Elliott, Melodie Lynn Elliott and Debra Eliabeth Elliott.  The home remains a quaint 1940's design and its outstanding feature was that of a backyard of exception, a sun room and its out-of-doors landscape design focusing on the activities of the family and neighbourhood children. 

     This was the first home for Norman and Frances and an offer for the purchase of the home motivated Fran and Norm to build another home in a near-bye neighbourhood
