The Victorian
Sitting on 112 acres, the original farm property dates back to the mid to late 19th century. While the Victorian house itself and original barn were built in the early 1900s.
The home had two towers, one on the front of the building and one on the west side of the house. During a time of neglect, the west side tower had began to pull away from the house and had to be removed. The owners at the time also removed all of the brick and added siding as a replacement.
In the early 1930s, the original barn burnt to the ground in a devastating fire. The owner at the time was later charged with arson. He thought that if the barn burned down, he could use the proceeds from the insurance claim to pay off the mortgage. A replacement barn was built years later and still sits on the property to this day.
Several years ago the property was sold to a development company and the buildings have sat abandoned and decaying ever since.
Unfortunately, the house is not protected under the heritage act and it will almost certainly be demolished in the future when the land is redeveloped.
