At this house in Carleton Place was born the famous Arthur Roy Brown, a World War 1 flying ace credited with ten aerial victories. His most famous of these victories was against Manfred von Richthofen, otherwise known as the “Red Barron.”
Although different in appearance than in 1900, the house still stands proud as a Carleton Place landmark.
