Additional Comments
Part of the shed was remodeled in 1947 into a residence.

Previously surveyed in 1987.

The LeClair brothers, Nelson and David, were French Canadians who came to the area with their father, Charles, in 1846. The LeClair brothers were very active in the Two Rivers fishing industry. They had a successful business as dealers and shippers of fish, and according to the 1913 Sandborn-Perris map, they smoked fish as well. The next generations of LeClairs continued the fishing business well into the twentieth century.
