Bostwick House

The Bostwick house was erected in 1827. The property was owned by Colonel John Bostwick and passed to his son Joseph in 1849. The house was originally framed like a barn using one foot square oak beams pinned in place with wooden pegs. Within the framing, strawberry handmade clay bricks were laid, a treatment called brick nogging. There is only one other house in Ontario which is known to display this form of construction.
