The ho use shall ive on What was formerly know,ýn as the Thomas Patterson bouse on Carscadden RQad in Clarke Township and built in~ 1857 is hav- ing a new lease on lîfe. Life is to continue for the 2000 square foot house but in the Hamilton area after restoration and total reconstruction. The bouse and farm wvas purchas- ed in 1910 by Thomas John and Elizabeth Carscadden and in recent years was owvned by tbe Jack Carscaddens. The house was recently purchas- ed by Warren Brice of Hamitlon who is having the house taken apart board by board, refurbîsbed and reconstructed for bis own use in the Hamilton area. Peter Marsball of Lakefield is undertaking the work and refers to the house as unique in hiaving 2000 square feet at that time in istory. He said a bouse of this size was unheard of at that time. Marshall speaks of the large visiting room, formaI diningroom, slip rooms, winter and summner kitchens and a stunning double-winder staircase. Marshall states the construction is of post and beami (barn construc- tion) and is of bieritage value. Tbe contractor also points to many interesting finds- that had been covered up including a fant- transom witb side lighits and wooden pilastersý at the front en- trance. "Tbis bouse was built by craft pope stated Marsball. Marshall tatesý that ahl doors and windowýs will be stripped and refiîshed- and that aIl articles of contruction wýill be Iovin-gly put back together with tbe result of the relocated bouse being what it wýas in 1857. "Everytbing," be said, "bas been sýaved". Peter Marshall bas under taking a number of similar projects in tbe re- cent past and also constructs log bornes as well as new post and beamn bornes. Tbe last scrap of tbe formner Pat- terson bouse bias now been taken fromn Clarke Townsbip but will live on in the Hamilton area.
