Description

This photo shows the yellow brick house located at 145 Church Street North. The house has retained many of its original features to this day. It features many Gothic Revival inspired elements that were popular in house design between 1840 and 1890. The house features pointed gables with long finials and ginger breading on the roof peaks. The house has a covered porch with square columns and a balcony above. A verandah with fancy bracket decoration can be seen at the back of the home. The balcony, covered porch and verandah are still present on the home; however, the gingerbread details have been removed.

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.
