 | The scullery was where the house servants would have prepared the breads, meats and vegetables before the food was taken into the kitchen for cooking. |
| This room is a reconstruction of the original McKenzie family scullery. This is a typical Hudson's Bay Company construction of the 1850's called "En Columbage" horizontal squared logs with tenoned ends let into grooved uprights. The upper storey is heavy frame construction. |  |
 | Archival documents lead us to believe the main floor building was constructed prior to the McKenzie's arrival in 1853, but completed by the Craigflower farm labourers after their arrival. The McKenzie's moved here in 1856 and left in 1865. Governor Douglas reported to Hudson's Bay Company Director Archibald Barclay in early 1853: |
"Mr. McKenzie has just returned from the place selected for his residence, and is pleased with the spot and the buildings already put up, consisting of one house of 50 feet and two cottages 25 feet in length which he can soon render habitable." |  |
