Builder A.J. (Arthur) Saint and his wife Margaret once lived in the building at 113 Holland St. West.

Art bought the house in 1931 and completely remodeled it. He added a walk-in refrigerator and a two-car garage in the old summer kitchen and woodshed.

At the back of the lot at that time, there was a two-storey barn that Art turned into a workshop.

He had three children (Keith, Helen, and Karen).

Art died in 1952 and the house was sold a couple of years later to John DePeuter. It was later remodeled and bricked again. 

Today the building is home to a number of businesses including Bradford Orthodontics, Douglas Law Firm and Mortgage Partners.
