522 George Street is a gable-roofed home with an open veranda in Fredericton. For more than fifty years, this residence was home to the McAdam family. It is believed to have been the work of James A. McAdam. James McAdam is notable for his dual role as an undertaker and as a carpenter. At the time, undertakers frequently either collaborated with carpenters or were carpenters themselves. McAdam originally made a living crafting objects such as funerary wagons and and cabinets for other local undertaking businesses. He eventually established his own business, McAdam’s Funeral Home, in 1899. Initially located on Carleton Street, the business was later relocated to King Street, and then again to York Street in 1961, where its continues to be run by the McAdam family.
