[edit] History

This house was built by an unknown person circa 1839 for Connell. It represents the peak of classicism in local architecture. It was built in the Greek Revival style, where wood is used to imitate the look of stone.

[edit] Past use

In the early 20th century, c. 1904, it was broken up into apartments.

[edit] Current use

The house was purchased by the Carleton County Historical Society in 1975, and is currently used to house the society's archives, artifacts and office. A restoration of the layout of the house, to before it was broken up into apartments, is underway.
