Campbell House is beautifying a wonderful town, preserving part of our past and creating prosperity all at the same time. It s certainly a dream project. Original furnishings are used wherever possible. In the drawing rooms, the chairs are built low to keep your head safely below the cloud of smoke that would have issued out of an old-fashioned fireplace. Nowadays the fireplace runs on gas.
Old crockery sits on the shelves.
An oil lamp has been converted to electricity. The wires servicing the house are underground. What looks like a classic outhouse, now shields the propane tanks. Slate from the nearby Burgoyne s Cove quarry forms a patio and garden walls, where guests can enjoy the spectacular view of Trinity Harbour. Tineke Gow personally oversaw the restoration of the historic building.
