     Here's a nice property at Glenwood Pond and dam in the small rural community of Glenwood at the corner of Route 14 and the Hamilton Rd (Rte. 139).
     The pond is on the Big Pierre Jacques River - there was a grist mill here owned by the Gorrills.
     The large 2-storey house is owned by the Boulter family.  The house is in the Second Empire style and likely built in the early 1900's.  The house has been nicely cared for.  The photo cf.

     There is a long Acadian history in this area which is recorded in the book, History of the Brae.  In Meacham's 1880 Atlas of Prince Edward Island, it notes this community of Glenwood called Pierre Jacques.
