THE MOTHER OF ALL BRICKS

295 BROCK RD, GREENSVILLE, ON c. 1830s

This side hall manor house built in 1830 by Scottish Stone Masons has survived virtually unchanged inside and out for almost two hundred years!

FRESH FACT: Known as Kerby house, built by Andrew Todd Kerby.

I actually viewed this house a few years ago at an open house (a very busy one) and without hesitation this is the most hauntingly beautiful home I have seen. The ceilings soar, the rooms dwarf and the character seduces. Truly a time capsule property. Some vision required but a worthy trade-off considering everything is historically intact.

* FRESH FACT:

6 panel door common in the years preceding 1850 and seen again in the

1920s during the colonial revival period. The stiles and rails of the door form a pattern suggestive of a cross, the two lower stiles and rails form a pattern vaguely suggestive of an open book, representing the bible.
