Others too, as they found their bearlngsin the 18nd 0! their adoption, soonbegan to arise and build.,and at the beg- inning oi‘ the last century there were about sixty houses in Char- lottetown. These houses were of differed: sizes and styles, all tlie way from the log cabin of Black Sam at the Fish Pond. to the fine dwelling of Colonel Holland in Grove. which was afterwards the residence oftho Colonial Govern- nor. These houses were all biillt o! wood and have long since fallen into decay or were destroyed by e Many of the houses of this earl- ier period had iarge fireplaces built in the kitchen chimneys with a swinging crane on which the pots and kettles were hilng. Also a large iron pan with a thick fiat cover might be seen on the crane which, was called a bake-pan. in this pan the bread for the falnliiy was baked. and good bread it was‘. The dough, after being kneaded and maile into loaves. was put in the pan on this cran-g over a large kept renewed until the bread was baked. A story is told of a well known cltiz-crl of earlier days wilo was always ready for a bargain , and would buy or sell on any occasion. A farmer. who came to town to sell his produce, and took home his trailer that he must buy a bake pan before leaving town. "d have one l can sell you." Teplled the trader. "Come down to tile house and soc it.“ W-hen they arrlved- at the house the trader discovered that the bake-pan was on the fire full of ‘bread and lie knew tlirit if llii; wife were around the fat would he in th'e fire also. ‘However. llg luade for the fireplace and grasping the pan ihrow off tlie llot cover and turned the bread out on the table.

Three years inter tlie Methodist Society purchased a piece of land on! tho north sidc of Richmond IStreet. between Queen and Pownal Streets and er- ected their first place of worship. Previous io this they held services in the uid Court ‘House which was given by Governor Fanning for that purpose. As the Methodist iSociety grew in Charlottetown thisflrst ilhlipel became too small to accommodate the congregation and land was sc- cured on the corner of Prince and Richmond Streets for the purpose of erecting a larger building. This chapel was opened in 1835 and was used by the Methodist people of Charlottetown with several im- provemonts and additions. llntii the present brick church was er- ected in 1863.
