PROPERTY HISTORY

This well-maintained heritage property is believed to date back to the late 1800s. The building, previously know as the “Buckley Building” was sold in 2016. The new owners condominiumized the property and converted the top floor to residential for their personal use.  The building is significant as one of a collection of commercial, Italianate and Second Empire buildings that were built between 1877 and 1881 after the great fire.

The building is also significant because it housed the office of G. Ernest Fairweather from 1888 until 1920. G. E. Fairweather was a prominent architect and he designed many significant buildings in Saint John. The current owners renamed the building “The Fairweather”.
