Mr. Chapdelaine was president and treasurer of Joseph Chapdelaine\, Inc.\, which advertised itself as “Builder of Fine Homes.” The owner\, Ray Chapdelaine\, is the grandson of the Quebec native who specialized in building ranch houses under the Chapdelaine Construction name and developed much of that area. Joseph had four sons\, all of whom joined the family business. He used this property as both his office and home\, and it featured “show-off” features for clients\, such as paneled rooms and a slate roof. The “totem pole” of animals was chainsaw-carved seventeen years ago after a devastating snowfall had wrecked an oak and left standing the high snag that remains
