Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The Alexander Homestead is a cultural heritage landscape comprising of three buildings, the Alexander House, an old schoolhouse and a cabin, encircled with numerous trees (only the house and old schoolhouse are of cultural heritage significance). The Alexander House (built 1854) is two storey frame house that is a representative example of the Georgian style of architecture. The 1837 schoolhouse building is an early example of a schoolhouse building and a rare example of a two-storey schoolhouse constructed before standardized plans came into vogue. It is also a rare example of plank-on-plank construction. The Alexander Homestead has historical or associative value as the village school and the home of several prominent Glen Williams business people; including William Alexander who opened a hotel in the village in 1848. The property is one of the original lots created as the village of Glen Williams was founded and the Alexander House and Schoolhouse are some of the oldest buildings in the village. They are physically, functionally, visually and historically linked to their surroundings and the school house is associated with the theme of the early school system created by the pioneer settlers. The Alexander Homestead is a heritage landscape that helps to define, maintain and support the character of Glen Williams and both the Alexander House and Schoolhouse are landmark features along one of the entrance roads into the village.
