    An iconic home in the Bay of Islands has been sold. The former Brake’s Care Home in Curling will soon have new owners. The house is familiar to many, as it was featured in the movie, “The Rowdyman,” starring Gordon Pinsent, as well as many locals. Candace Sanderson and her husband have purchased the home after just seeing pictures and videos of the 3 storey dwelling. She first saw the 1920’s house online in January and they plan on doing some renovations. Sanderson says they will move from Stratford, Ontario to Curling during the middle of May.
