Carp Exhibit Hall (1897)
The red painted frame building with white trim remains a focal
point in the Carp area to this day. It stands as one of the few
remaining octagonal fairground buildings once so popular in
Ontario, and continues to function as the main fairground hall.
A = the digital root of the date displayed on the mural to the
left of the entrance.
Apparently there are two dates on the mural. You want the one
in the upper-right corner.
The digital root of a number is the number obtained by adding
all the digits, then adding the digits of that number, and then
continuing until a single-digit number is reached. For example, the
digital root of 65,536 is 7, because 6 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 6 = 25 and 2 +
5 = 7.

St. Mary's Anglican Church (1908)
Structural stress on the original St. Mary's Church, built at
Pinhey's Point, North March Township by Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey in
1828, made it necessary to build a new place of worship. In 1908,
the local masonries from Carp built the new St. Mary's at its
current location, not far away from the original. Many stained
glass windows, plaques, the font for baptisms, and several other
items are in memory of Pinhey descendants.
C = the 3rd digit of the number on the black sign in
front of the church (xxCx)

Pinhey's Point Historic Site (1821 - 1849)
Built in stages from 1821 until 1849, “Horaceville” was the home
of Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey, a British settler who became a leading
member of Upper Canadian Society. From its humble beginnings as a
log building covered in clapboard, the house evolved into the
magnificent stone structure that exists today. Picnic area. Guided
tours of the main house and out-buildings.
How old was Hamnett Piney when he retired to Canada? D = the
second digit of his age (xD)
