Description

Photo of the Eedy house located at 252 Queen Street East. The Eedy's had owned the St. Marys Journal and later the St. Marys Journal Argus up until about a decade ago. This home has been in the family for years and consists of an Italianate style home and cottage.

This photo comes from a Christmas card that the Eedy family would have sent out.

Reasons for Designation:
This splendid residence (252 Queen Street East) consists of a cottage built for John Sanderson, a pioneer lumberman in St. Marys, ca. 1849 and a two-storey house which he added in 1869. The cottage was constructed of St. Marys' limestone which subsequently has been pargetted. The town house is of regularly coursed limestone with finished quoins - stonework of outstanding quality which has been attributed to James Elliott, the master mason responsible for the Opera House. Both sections of the house have magnificent and remarkably well-preserved verandahs - that in front of the two-storey addition of Italianate style. This designation also includes the stone wall surmounted by a wrought iron fence replacing an original one removed in 1930.
