Wilbert spend 2 years custom building his "retirement" house that was finished in 1917.
In 1917 Eureka was sold to Keenan Company from Owen Sound. Eureka had a factory on the harbour in Owen Sound as did Keenan who specialized in wood products. The introduction of the "temporary Income Tax Law" during WWI may have led to Wilbert's decision to sell the company.
33 Ellis Avenue was changed to 187 Ellis when additional homes were built on Ellis to the North. The property backed onto Grenadere Pond.
