Sorrow came to Russell this week in the form of fire, when a seemingly random act destroyed an historic house full of mysteries, ghosts, family memories and possible future stories.
Dubbed the Red House, 312 Pelly Avenue South in Russell has changed hands a scant four times in the 133 years since William James Barrett-Lennard (1857-1940) moved its bricks by ox and cart from the right bank of Bear Creek to a hill to what is now known as Russell.
The story line goes like this: the Boultons, the Drevers, the Falkevitchs and, most recently, the Flockners.
