Dating to the 1850s, it began as a hotel and is now a house. It sits on a large lakefront lot with shrubbery and trees, and the property is well maintained. The building shows Greek Revival features, notably its cornice and central entrance, and rests on a stone foundation. Two dormer windows in the roof were added later, and the building has been altered a number of times. Its importance lies in its history as a stopping place for east-west travellers passing through Vermilion. It represents the town's role as a stop-over for overland travel along the lakefront. It was included in a multiple-resource group of Vermilion's Harbour Town properties.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Now used as a house; condition listed as good, with a very good exterior.
