4. John D. MacGillivray?

 

This house is on the north side of the Main Brown’s Mountain Road, close to the road.

 

It probably faced the road at 155º (south).  Its western edge has been obscured by a “push-off” material bulldozed to the side in later improvements to the road.  The dimensions of the cellar are roughly 24 by 24 ft.  There is an 80-100 year old spruce on the northeast corner indicating that the structure has been gone since at least 1945.

 

Edge of the cellar looking east.
