THUNDER BAY — For decades, the "McIntyre house" at 1017 Isabella Street East has been portrayed as the oldest surviving house in Thunder Bay.
Going forward, the Thunder Bay Museum — where one record about the Bendell Street building curiously carried the notation "non-extant," suggesting it had been demolished — will be revising its own files to help set things straight. Michael deJong, the curator/archivist at the museum, said there are still a few gaps in the records, but the Bendell Street building was the first house occupied by Robert McVicar, who arrived in 1860 at what became known as Prince Arthur's Landing ten years later.
A neighbour said the house was occupied as recently as a few years ago, but it has deteriorated and currently stands empty.
