Fountain Stone Walkway. Front of Pansy Patch with White Steps. Pansy Patch and Kate Reed. Kate Armour Lowrey Reed was born in Cobourg, Ontario, in 1856, the eldest child of Supreme Court Judge John Douglas Armour and was educated at Mrs. Stubbs Ladies School in Toronto. She has been described by her niece as a very fascinating character, very masculine in energy and executive ability, and yet wholly feminine in her greatness and her devotion to helping those in distress. On September 16, 1880, Kate married Grosvenor Lowrey, noted patent attorney for such great people as Thomas Alva Edison. While married to Mr. Lowrey, she became a great authority on antiques and paintings through her association with the higher circles of New York society. In March, 1882, Grace Armour Lowrey was born, a stepsister for Virginia and Julie. Grosvenor was very much in love with Kate, as is shown in his letters to her, published in a biography by Jocelyn Pierson Taylor. Grosvenor Lowrey died in 1893. Upon her return to Montreal after Grosvenor Lowreys death, she assisted Sir William Van Horne in putting together his art collection, one of Canadas most famous in those days. In 1894, Kate married Hayter Reed, who had been the Canadian Indian Commissioner. A few years later, he became the Manager-in-Chief of the CPR Hotels. Because of her experience in connection with the Van Horne collection, Kate was asked to redecorate the CPR Hotels and was sent to Europe to buy antiques, paintings and furniture. The Chateau Frontenac was the first hotel of her redecorating challenges. While still in Montreal, she was commissioned by the Canadian Government to decorate the Royal train coach which was used to carry the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall across Canada in 1901. This same coach was also later used by King George V and Queen Mary. Kate also redecorated CPR Hotels in Banff, Lake Louise, Field, Emerald Lake, Glacier, Sicamous Junction and Vancouver. When she was finished, it was said that one could enter any of these hotels and stop, saying, Kate Reed did that. She went on to decorate the Empress Hotel in Victoria and the Palliser in Calgary. At Chateau Lake Louise, Kate was responsible for the introduction of the Icelandic Poppy for which that area is now so famous! But Kate Reed was not just a businesswoman. She was also a humanitarian. She helped to care for some of her poorer prairie cousins by taking them necessary supplies and giving them money when she could. She was always there to help the underdog, involving herself in various organizations to do just that. While living in Ottawa, she was asked by the Governor-General to be the founder-director of the Victorian Order of Nurses. In 1911, Hayter and Kate began the construction of Pansy Patch, whose design had been completed by the renowned architect Charles Saxe, RCA. In 1912, they moved in and made it their summer home. The interior of Pansy Patch showed Kates decorating abilities. She had three huge beams shipped from Montreal, two of which were used as supports in the living room. The third, they used for the mantel of the huge fireplace. On this mantel is carved an excerpt from one of Edward Spencers works, and it reads: Now faire betyde who here abyde and merrie may they be. And faire befalle who in this halle repaire in courtesie. From morne till nighte be it darke or bright we banish droll and dree. Come sit beside our hearth tis wide for gentle companie. The living room also held Kate and Hayters collection of ship models, some 29 in total, as well as their valuable collection of ships-in-bottles and bird cages. The dining room was a masterpiece in itself. The tiles around the fireplace are the original delft blues. The window was encased in glass and had glass shelves, holding an extensive collection of glass bottles of every hue, sparkling in the sunlight like a rainbow after a summer shower. Another of Kate Reeds accomplishments was the fund set up to plant trees along the road to the Golf Course, which is today knows as Reed Avenue. Her first donor was Sir William Van Horne, a close personal friend. Sir William, however, did not actually give Kate the money he pledged. Instead, he gave her a painting, the last work he completed before his death in 1913. Mrs. Reed did not particularly like the painting and would tell him when he visited Pansy Patch that it was being framed! In 1927, Pansy Patch was advertised for sale and sold to Mr. And Mrs. Samuel Houston. Kate and Hayter moved to the Andrews Cottage, now known as Cory Cottage and now a part of Pansy Patch Bed Breakfast. They began restoration of their new home. Kate once again set about making plans for her gardens. Kate Reed died in London, England, in 1928, and was buried in Montreal. She was survived by one son, Gordon Reed, and her daughter, Grace Lowrey. Pansy Patch was owned by the Houstons until 1937 when it was sold to Mr. And Mrs. H. D. Burns, Chairman of the Bank of Nova Scotia, for $5,000. In 1960, the house was again sold, this time to Mr. And Mrs. John Gale of Montreal. In 1969, it was sold to Mr. And Mrs. Allen Balliet of Pennsylvania. In 1979, Pansy Patch was bought by Michael and Kathleen Lazare and converted to a bed and breakfast in 1980. The present owner, Michael OConnor of Boston, Massachusetts, purchased the home in 1993, and has continued to operate it as a bed and breakfast. He has added Gallery New Brunswick, which contains works of art exclusively crafted by New Brunswick artists and crafts persons. In addition, fine dining is also available for the general public, complimenting the other existing businesses within Pansy Patch. Mr. OConnor is trying to bring the grounds back to their original state by using information from Kates Garden Journal to replicate the gardens, their locations and their functionality. Any repairs that have been completed have been done so with great concern and detail so as to maintain the original character of Pansy Patch. As one enters Pansy Patch today, the ambiance that was created by Kate Reed so many years ago can still be felt. As you sit before the warm hearth fires, relaxing, enjoying friendly conversation, you are aware of her presence. She was a great woman, then and now, and her contributions to St. Andrews and Canada will always be remembered fondly.
