After Macdonald moved his concrete company to "Meadowview", near Kentville, the house in Centreville became his home. Having read many articles on "Cements" and "Concretes" he had learned that statues made of cement were becoming more and more common. So he decorated the interior with concrete figures and appointments. He also made a considerable number of statues of wildlife, garden pieces, and, one of his favourites, a nude figure of a girl washing her hair, although controversial at the time, graced the lawn in front of his house.
