It was then occupied by Charles Campau and Archange Campau, his wife, (Ne Beaubien) after Jean Baptiste Campau and Archange Campau (Ne Lassilen Dit Possion) had originally occupied same. This house was later moved from the River Rouge to the front part of Private Claim 45 (also known as P.C. 11) facing on the River Road (now Jefferson Avenue West). It was maintained as a farm an orchard adjoining to the east. Subsequently the house and big barn were razed and the property remained vacant for some years.
