    This was the home of Michael J. McIver and his family, in Kinkora, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The home was built in 1921. In 1935, the house was converted into a convent by The Sisters of Saint Martha, which housed Sister Winnifred McIver (Michael J's youngest daughter Stella Winnifred). The Sisters served Kinkora and the surrounding area until the early 1990s. In 1986, the house was renovated into a bed and breakfast, which has been known as Chez Shea since 2004.
