Thompson Trueman, a long time steward in the Wesleyan Academy, acquired part of this estate and built this house as a retirement home for himself and his wife, the former Rebecca Wood.

The second long-time owner of the property was Donald Shives Fisher who in 1921 joined the family firm of Enterprise Foundry Company where he served as vice-president and general manager for many years. He was one of the prime movers in establishing Sackville Memorial Hospital and very involved in Sackville community life.
