Description

A photo showing the stone cottage located at 615 Queen Street East as it appeared in the early to mid-1980s. This farmhouse was built in 1858 for local magistrate John Sparling. It was constructed with stone left over from the Sarnia Railway Bridge in St. Marys. The house provides examples of several Gothic-Revival architectural elements such as the double pointed-arch front doors, the curling bargeboard around the gables and the finials on the roof peaks. Note the two small dormer windows on the roof and the protruding front entryway. The house has retained many of the features seen here to this day including the painted ginger breading and trim, and the shutters built to fit the trim above the windows.

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.
