Second wife of John Redpath, the industrialist and founder of Canada’s first sugar refinery, Mrs. Redpath came to Metis following her husband’s death. She bought the land from 310 to 330 Beach. She also purchased a strip of land running behind her property and continuing west, to make a small private road leading to MacNider Road and to the Cascade Golf & Tennis Club. This way, when the children were young, they could walk or cycle to the club without going along Beach Road which was more dangerous. Around 1890, Mrs. Redpath had three houses built for her children on her property, one of which was The Red House, an iconic Metis house. She also had a stable built, which was eventually transformed into house.
