In September 1919, after visiting friends at Gros Cap for a few years, Harry Bridge, a barber, who had his business and residence the corner of Queen Street East and Pim Street in Sault Ste. Marie, purchased waterfront property at Gros Cap to use as a summer vacation home. This place has been continuously in the Bridge Family from that date and is currently owned by Harry Bridge's grandson, Glen and his wife Betty.

The house that was on the property at the time of purchase was a 2 story farmhouse type building and was located about 200 ft. back from the waterfront. In 1921, Harry Bridge decided that the house was too far back on the property and arranged with the help of Mr. George Daigle, to have it moved closer to the water. This took a great deal of preparation, as not only the house had to be moved, but a new site for the house to sit on had to be made ready. The original house, which had thick walls of logs and sawdust, had to be jacked up, supported, put on wooden rollers and rolled 150 feet closer to the shore.

On August 30th, 1921, Harry & Eliza Bridge's oldest son Clyde and his wife Myrla were blessed with the arrival of their first-born son, Glen. A couple of weeks after his birth, baby Glen was taken out to Gros Cap and while his father helped with the preparation for the move, he slept peacefully in his cozy basket, which was placed on the floor near the cook stove. His mother, Myrla, was busing baking and helping to prepare the next meal for the workers. Prior to starting to make her pastry, she had taken off her diamond engagement ring and laid it carefully on a shelf, then went outside for an armful of wood for the stove. At that precise moment, everything was in readiness for the move, and the signal was given for the teams of horses to start pulling the house down to its new foundation. All Myrla knew was that the house, with her baby and engagement ring inside, were heading for the lake, and she went screaming after them to stop.

She was successful in rescuing her baby, but the diamond ring was never found. Finally the house was placed on its new foundation, where it remains to this day.
