The House
The stone house dates to the 1800s and the size and quality of stonework is remarkable. The wide-board floors in the living room are the largest we have ever seen!
The owner retained B. Napier Simpson to carefully retore and expand the stone house in 1970. Napier Simpson was perhaps the most famous architect specializing in historic restoration in Ontario in that era. He was a "Starchitect" before there was such a term!
