Frink house is also recognized for its association with former occupants. The first occupant was James Frink, son of Captain Nathan Frink who came with the Loyalists to St. Stephen in 1783. Celebrated St. Stephen cabinetmaker John Warren Moore and his wife, Mary Louisa Moore, lived in the house from 1833-1836. In 1897, John D. McMillan, a marble trader, became the next owner and the family occupied the house for 48 years. The present owner has retained the original style of the house.
