A 4-bedroom, 4-bath timber frame post & beam built from 1st growth white pine circa 1830. Originally situated in Whitby, Ontario, the home was purchased, dismantled, numbered and stored in 1987 to be erected strategically in 1990 to maximize sightlines across and up the Niagara River to Queenston.

The sympathetic restoration took two years to complete. The style is a 3-bay Georgian centre hall, or a 'Wilderness Georgian', an early Upper Canada term for the style. It was built by Robert Schooley Wilson, a devout Quaker from Pennsylvania. Simple interior spaces and the lack of flamboyance reflect this.

Some features include: 4 wood fireplaces, including a Rumford in the kitchen with bake oven, millwork and cabinetry by local master artisan Bill German, interior paint colours reproduced from sample scrapings from original, septic installed in 1990, and dual heating systems to minimize structural intrusion of ducting and vents.

Also includes 24 X 36' barn/garage with finished upper studio, all copper gutters and downspouts and fabulous gardens.

This property has been lovingly cared for.
