- Description
- Built by Joseph Sheard, the dead house is a Gothic-style building, which was the architectural fashion of the time.
Its octagonal shape followed a mid-19th century fad for eight sided buildings that originated in the United States.
Octagonal winter vaults, however, are unique to southern Ontario. - Date of Original
- 1855
