Werry had purchased the south three quarters of Lot 14 from George Wiseman in 1855. The 1861 census showed that a Joseph Clogg, brother-in-law of William Werry, was living in a one storey log house on the property. (Curiously, there is no indication on the Tremaine Map of 1861 that a house stood on this land). In 1862, Werry increas- ed the mortgage on the property, and this may indîcate- the date of construction of the present bouse. In 1864, William werry's son Peter, who married Annie Hoar that same year, took possession of the proper- ty. in 1873, the property was pur- chased by Nathaniel Henry and his wife, Jane, and in 1874, Henry gave half anf acre from the south west corner of the farm to the Trustees. of S.S. 21 Clarke for the Construc- tion of a school. This weil maintained house is a, good example of the stone faimý houses being built in Clarke Township in the mid nineteenth century. The exterior bas undergone a few changes. Interior renovations were carried out a number of years ago under the direction of the eminent restoration a?!Chiecit, MTâIte- ýaýper iSlmpson. This house is recommended for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for the following architectual reasons: 1 . the random-coursed granite facade and uncoursed rubble work of the side and rear wing remain in good condition 2. the windows of the front wing retain the original lintels> 3. the original eaves returns and cornice mouldingsremain intact. *CQrpoàt!oInof*th SEALED TENDERS, clearly marked as to contents, for the ffollowing requirements listed below, addressed t the Cor- poration of the Town of Newcastle, 40 Temperance Street, f4Cowrnanville, Ontario, LiC 3A6, wilI be received on the forms and in the envelope provided uniti the specified clos- ing lime and date.
