Peach's Farm (Carbonear)![[Peach's Farm: Image]](025.jpg)
The property on which this structure was built was granted by the Crown to Gosse, Pack and Fryer in November of 1830. The house was evidently built between that time and September of 1833 when the Carbonear Star carried a notice of a Sunday School picnic to be held at "Rural Retreat" (the name by which the property was known) farm of R. Pack, Esq. The property remained in the Pack family until 1867 when an advertisement in the Harbour Grace Standard indicates it was offered for sale by a Samuel Pack. The land then passed into the hands of James Peach and later into the Soper family. The structure is in good condition and has been well cared for over the vears.
