View of the side of the hotel showing its hip roof from in front of Duart Hall. Women on the verandah of Duart Hall and children on the lawn, including a child in a wheelchair. Belleview Hotel was built in 1877 and was the private residence of William Pugsley from 1915-1925.

MacKay.

On the left bank of the Bartibog River facing the Miramichi stands the river’s oldest home. It was built in the 1790’s by an Alexander Macdonald who immigrated from Scotland. The stone was brought from the old country. This is not surprising as stone was often used for ballast. One of the chimneys has been replaced by small red brick and the smaller windowpanes have given way to large ones. In recent years the home is occupied only in the summer. The family claims the Prince of Wales visited here in the early 1800’s while visiting the colonies, but historians (and notably Dr. Louise Manny) dispute this.
