The Alsager house and barns were located at 6953 232nd Street. The house was built by Erik and Belle Alsager in 1937-38. The couple had two sons, Lawrence and Bob, and Lawrence later lived here with wife Doris (nee Anderson), a school teacher. There were two barns on the property, one with a gambrel roof, which was older and built from the B.T. Barn Book of Plans by Erik Alsager, and the barrel vaulted round-roofed barn, which was built in the 1950s. The property sloped quite a bit on the south side where there was a steep bank down to the Salmon River. The property was purchased (ca. 2000?) by the Western Canada Genetics Centre.
