Another great find.

When I was pulling up the boards in the living room, particularly under what we think was the area were a kitchen may have been, I found more old news papers. Not as old as the one from upstairs but still it tells us when a renovation was done, at least when the floor covering was changed.
Here is the living room before we pulled up the boards. On the left side of the room was what looked like an old dividing wall, probably was a load baring wall, not too sure.
Most of it was covered with hard board, except one end were you can see the original floor covering. We think this may have been part of the old kitchen at one time.
When I pulled up that old flooring this is what I found. Several old news papers dating back to 1938. Most of them are from 1944 and 1946.
The Saint John Citizen 8 June 1938.
The Star Weekly, 14 May 1938.
The Telegraph-Journal Saint John, 13 July 1944.
The Farmer's Advocate, 22 August 1946.
