Artisan's Gallery built 1907
The section on which this building stands was deeded to Christian Jacob Waeckerle by the Nanto Bordelaise Company in 1842. (see also the entry for 47 Rue Lavaud). The Akaroa Mail (November 19, 1907) reports this cottage as being built for Mr. Robert Bayley (former proprietor of the Grand Hotel), and son-in-law of the Waeckerles. Another cottage was built at the same time and stood on the area which is now the glass extension to #45. (That cottage was moved to 54 Rue Jolie). The builder of these cottages was John James Walker. It is said that he used bricks left over from building the Madeira hotel for the chimney. The glass extension was built by his grandson, Ken Walker.
McCrostie's Real Estate built 1877
The land under this property and #45 next door belonged to Christian Jacob Waeckerle and his wife Marie Judith Eteveneaux. He obtained the land from the Nanto Bordelaise company when he moved into Akaroa in 1842. The Nanto-Bordelaise company exchanged his 5 acres at German Bay (Takamatua) for 400 sq metres and 90 centimetres on Rue Lavaud. Both Jacob and Marie had travelled here on the Comte de Paris, she as a girl, and married Waeckerle two years after they arrived when she was just 16. Marie was named on this title deed at a time when joint ownership between a man and a woman was very unusual. Their first home together was a little house on this site. This cottage is from later, built in 1877, when the land still belonged to the Waeckerles. However, by this stage they probably lived in the newly built "Waeckerle's cottage" next door to their son-in-law's hotel, now known as the Grand.

The Artisan Pub, Abbeyhill, Edinburgh, Scotland... wound my head up real tight trying to take a pic, with a slightly wide angle lens and the front of the building running squint, to follow the line of the road!!! :-)
Three varieties of cheese made by the best cheese-makers in Canada with walnuts, amber honey and pear compote.
Rather boring even though the plate was nicely dressed (ample toasts). I think I've been spoiled by cheese plates that aren't produced for mass enjoyment (aka filled with supermarket ready fare). Yawn.

Wilson Aboagye is a Ghanaian craftsman, born March 21, 1963.
"I attended Anglican primary school in 1972 and Anglican middle school in 1979," he says. "I got interested in Ghanaian African carvings when I was a child, so after middle school I learned the trade through a man named Mr. Akoffour. Now I have my own workshop and am training three people.
"I carve different types of masks and any of them have a meaning. My products are unique and my target is to create more."
