Description

This Ontario Cottage style house was a common design throughout the 19th century. It was built between 1865 and 1866 by local architect Robert Barbour. Barbour was known for his work in St. Marys including the Tracy House (the St. Marys Museum), the downtown block South of the Opera House which was built for Theodore Hutton and the St. Marys North Ward Collegiate. The house features a cross gable roof with paired windows in a wide central gable. Flat arch stone headers are set above the windows. The front door has a decorate door surround with sidelights and a transom window. Dormer windows sit on the roof on either side of the house. The house was constructed with locally quarried limestone.

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.
