GENERAL
Type / PurposePrivate Residence
11 Station Road, Rothesay, New Brunswick
The Satalic House is a two-storey Folk Victorian Cottage-style house that sits on Station Road in Rothesay. It is located next to the historic Belleview Hotel, having been the residence of the hotel's caretaker.
The Satalic House is notable for both its architecture and its former occupant.
The Folk Victorian Cottage style is an uncommon form of architecture that is well displayed by this house. The Satalic House prominently features a veranda decorated with gingerbread trim and a gable roof with vergeboards. In the past, an apple orchard was located near the area, and although it has deteriorated over time, a few apple trees remain on the former site of the orchard.
The Satalic House was designed as a residence for the caretaker of the nearby Belleview Hotel and Duart Hall, which were at the time prominent features of the community and were run by Lt. Gov. William Pugsley. The only caretaker to actually occupy the Salatic House was Henry Coffey, who took care of the local orchard and lived in the house until he died in the 1930s.
