Reasons for Designation:
This 1.5 storey Ontario cottage was built in 1865-1866 as the residence of Robert Barbour and his family. A native of Coldstream, Scotland, Barbour emigrated by way of New York and Rochester to St. Marys in the 1850s. In the next two decades he became the most prominent and innovative master builder in the town and surrounding countryside. Both the design and construction of this stone residence are undoubtedly his own work.
This designation includes as much of the early wooden porch as is original as well as both interior and exterior window blinds.
This house, an outstanding example of stone construction in its own right, is one of a group of stone dwellings built on the Thames River along Thomas Street, which together recreate the ambiance of nineteenth century life in St. Marys.
