This home was built by Joseph and Gail (Bassi) Kern who moved here from New York. They started to build this one-of—a—kind home in 1979. It is a post and beam house with structural timbers which they cut themselves in Breadalbane. It was originally built as a two— family house, but the other family moved to Florida. Later Joe and Gail renovated it to be a bed and breakfast called “Summer Gardens," named after their extensive vegetable and flower gardens. 'lhey have two daughters, Amy, who married lVlac Day and lives in Appin Road and Sarah, who married Carlo Catallo and lives in Toronto.

a Joe and Gail owned and operated the Root Cellar, a natural food store in Charlottetown, for 25 years.

a When they were building their house, their neighbour, Bert lV’lacPhail, who was very interested in the process, would come up every Sunday with his visitors and show them around.
