I lived at 3 Ole King Square for 5 years in the late 1980's. This old 3-storey, flat roof house was divided in to six apartments sometime in the mid-twentieth century. My apartment was on main floor, on the corner of Old King Square and Hillsborough Street.
I have never known, or could ever find out, who owned this large old house.
Here are a few photos of my photos of 3 Ole King Square taken in December 1988.

According to the City of Charlottetown's website and their page about this house - it's listed as being built prior to 1878 as it appears in this 1878 Panoramic view below. See: http://www.city.charlottetown.pe.ca/searchaproperty.php?propid=1970
