This is a renovation of a two-and-a-half story brick semi-detached house built in the late 19th century. Known as the Ancestral House, it was renovated in the early 1980s, reducing the heating demand by 90%. New improvements include the creation of a hypersensitive suite, a healthier environment, and independence from municipal water and sewer services. Although connected to hydroelectric services, the house will generate, on average, slightly more electricity each year than it consumes.
