The Kivell House

Kivell House (1902)

42 Bay Street  

William John Kivell, son of John and Mary (nee Peer) Kivell, purchased this property in 1901, and it is believed that he built the house the following year using bricks from the nearby Port Credit brickyard. Like his father, William was a mariner and labourer by trade.  His occupation is listed as a truck driver for the Starch Works in a document archived at https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LL4Z-8YN/william-john-kivell-1878-1951  

The house was in the Kivell family for over a century, and remains a private family home today.
