Description

This house is located at 41 Ontario St. North and looks very similar to this day; this photograph was taken in the early 1980s. Note the curved brackets under the roof eaves. The house features a projecting bay window, an enclosed entryway and an alternating brick quoin pattern along the sides of the house.

This yellow brick house was built c. 1881 for local innkeeper William Constable (Ontario House hotel) and his wife Margaret. Margaret was widowed by 1887, thus inheriting the home. She remarried in 1902 to George Grant who then used the house as a rental income. By 1920 the Good family owned the home and rented out the property until c. 1950. Subsequently, William Graham purchased the house and rented out to the McDonald family; the family would eventually buy the house themselves and lived in the home for over 50 years.

In the winter and early spring of 1982-1983, Randall Speller, a colleague of Larry Pfaff from the Art Gallery of Ontario, took a series of black and white photographs of houses of architectural significance in St. Marys. Larry Pfaff and several local friends who shared this interest in architecture took some additional photographs in a subsequent summer. This photograph is one of this series.
