The McMurchy house written by Fletch Manning in 2004
Here is another of the historic homes in Reston. It was known as the McMurchy house, and stands at 235 1st St.
This house was built in 1900 by Mr. Monders, a carpenter who came from the west. Mr. Monders lived in the house while working in Reston on other homes.
In 1910-11 Colin and Agnes (Bulloch) McMurchy, a newly married couple bought the house. They lived here with their children, Elmer, Margaret (Bud) and Ann Marie.
The McMurchy’s were familiarly known as Cappie and Aggie as well as Grandpa and Grandma Mac.
In 1972-3 Bill and Georgina (Forke) Phillips purchased the place. They lived here until 1990 when it was bought by George Cargo, the United Church minister. When George left, he sold to Pat Hamel. She leased the house to Brad and Donna Rozak, Jace and Eleanor Jago, Correy Neville and the Philip Gould family. Kent Hamel and Nancy Mullens and family are now owners and proud to live in this comfortable abode.
