Description

The cottage located at 181 Thomas Street was built in 1863. The house was built by Scottish stonemasons Alexander Grant and John Grant, Alexander's son. John Grant lived in the house for many years. John was known for his work on the arches of the Victoria Bridge and for the masonry of the First Presbyterian Church.

This stone cottage displays elements similar to other structures built in St. Marys. The stone chimneys are both original to the house, and were built with decorative mortar joints adding some interest to their appearance. The rest of the stonework on the cottage also appears to be original. The smooth limestone blocks are constructed in a regular course pattern. The rectangular lintels over the door and windows were often used in old stone houses. A rear addition was added onto the house at a later date, which can be seen in this photograph. This house is a historically designated structure.
