Additional Information: | At the turn of the twentieth century, after founding the Carcajou Hunting Club in 1896, C.L. Valentine and H.L. Skavlem subdivided the former Charles J. Lee farm into individual lots to sell to club members who wanted private summer cottages adjacent to the hunting club. The subdivision was named Carcajou Place. The majority of these houses, located on White Crow Road in the Town of Sumner, have since been demolished or heavily altered; however, the C.L. Valentine House, constructed in 1897 at W8679 White Crow Road in the Town of Sumner maintains its historic integrity. |
