In 1958, a new Municipal Plan was prepared for the Wabana Town Council. This was at the height of mining activity when the future of Bell Island was looking rosy and only a year before things started to go downhill for Wabana Mines. A feature of the new Town Plan was a municipal park on the land where the hospital and the Seniors’ Home are now located.
Sapp’s property was right in the middle of this map, located around the corner from Town Square on No. 2 Road (shown as West Mines Road on the map).
