The original owner was James Dundas, a railway mail-clerk who had a short walk to work at the Southampton railway station on the next corner (now a home at 124 Grosvenor Street S). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559506756314-FGN93O0TDIGVJXPJD0AI/65+Grosvenor+St+S.JPG More Yellow Brick Houses 65 Grosvenor Street S (1912) While the asymmetrical composition with a variety of building materials (brick, stone, concrete) a dominant front-facing gable and bay window, multiple roof-styles (hip, flat, and gable) a dominant front facing gable and wrap-around porch are reminiscent of the Queen Anne Style, the simplicity of detail and finishes combined with a 1912 date of construction are more in tune with the early 20th century Edwardian Classical Style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559506663452-0O5U4S2A13D8WC1JLQNT/57+Huron+St+N.JPG More Yellow Brick Houses 57 Huron St. N, “Windward” (1885) This centre-hall three-bay cottage combines the classical revival elements of a centre-pedimented wall dormer while a bay window and decorated front porch are elements associated with the later Italianate style. The house was built for the local hero and Great Lakes Captain Angus MacAuley (born in 1845, in Stornoway, Orkney Island), who captained the steamer J.H. Jones, the schooner J.J. McGrath, the Tecumseh, and the Southampton-built Cascaden, surviving several storms and shipwrecks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559506351294-8OLECP2W8UKY65U606YS/38+Albert+St+N%2C+First+Town+Hall.JPG More Yellow Brick Houses 38 Albert Street N (1860) Built to serve a dual purpose, originally a wood building, it was first used as the Southampton village hall from 1860 to 1873 and as a school from 1860 until 1876. In 1879, the Masonic Lodge (founded in 1860) purchased the property. Located in the centre gable, a stone panel bears the Masonic square-and-compass symbol, with “St. Lawrence Lodge,” and a datestone, 1899, which is probably the year that the frame building was clad with yellow brick. https://www.southamptonheritage.org/mission daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559001788544-DCYMUNDM7970Q2GO1CYK/DSCN0905.JPG Mission We are committed to listening to and engaging with the community about what the heritage environment of our town means to them, and how the diverse nature of our 6,000 year old history can be commemorated and understood now, and for the generations to come, building bridges between people and histories to build our town for a bright future. https://www.southamptonheritage.org/join-3 daily 0.75 2019-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559400144589-OUZA2EJFU7YSWUK486S8/shutterstock_65004253.jpg Subscribe - SUBSCRIBE!

The original exterior features rough-cast siding over hand-split lathe and clapboards, six-over-six sash windows, a front door with sidelights and transom window, a hip roof and wide verandah. The original interior has a centre hall plan and the original pine floors, doors, wainscoting, stairs, and mouldings. In 1998 this important heritage house was provincially designated. https://www.southamptonheritage.org/privacy-policy-1 daily 0.75 2019-06-12 https://www.southamptonheritage.org/volunteer-1 daily 0.75 2019-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559508031804-7PC7IUXZ75M3YF2I0Q0V/DSCN0986.JPG Volunteer https://www.southamptonheritage.org/our-board-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/0baf0b6e-017b-453f-9352-aad46cddf88a/Picture1.SCHC+Parade.png Membership and Board of Directors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.southamptonheritage.org/donate daily 0.75 2019-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1559486295221-CS3QSUB2QLVPVS3FICDH/DSCN4401.JPG Donate!

In 1885 the Anglican Church purchased it from Proudfoot for $800.00. Letters of the time describe a house “in excellent condition…well painted and papered and with stables, an orchard, and a garden.” The famous poet William Wilfred Campbell ("Along the line of smoky hills, the crimson forest stands ... ") lived in this house from 1890-91, while serving as the Anglican minister. It was later occupied by George Clifford Huston, the school principal after whom the elementary school is named. https://www.southamptonheritage.org/press-1 daily 0.75 2023-01-01 https://www.southamptonheritage.org/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2019-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1564003294175-5JBY0RCNI21DQQLP60P9/Aunt+Annie%27s--56+Front+St.JPG New Page 56 Front Street (c. 1850) Built originally as a log cabin, prior to the town plan of 1851, Southampton’s oldest building was the home of Angelique Longe (1844-1944), remembered as a Metis midwife who knew and used native plants for medicinal purposes and spoke four languages. The house continues to be owned by members of the Longe family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1564003228755-Y9GPZ3D21NKOA0FVMUC3/OurHomeP1013534.jpg New Page 221 Clarendon St. (1854) Known as the “Three Sisters” this house was built by James D. Cathey (1817-?), a teacher at the Methodist Mission, Saugeen village from 1845 through 1849. He later moved to 221 Clarendon with his wife Agnes and children. Saugeen Township council first met in this house, in January 1854. From 1884 to 1909 this was home to Donald MacAulay (1834-1909), from the Isle of Lewis, fisherman and keeper of the two river Range Lights. The two-storey clapboard house featuring a half salt-box profile, a portico over the front door, and 6-over-six windows, is one of the few remaining of post-and-beam construction. In 1990 the owners, digging a backyard garden, uncovered a tombstone, "to the memory of Mary, daughter of George and Eustacia Cathey, died August 1856, age 19 years 5 mos" (possibly James Cathey's sister). The owners stopped work and reburied the stone. This house was designated as a Heritage Property under the Ontario Heritage Act. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1564003101274-UTPZ1WBRGUZ9GFMHQDAM/71+Huron+St+N.JPG New Page 71 Huron St N (1851) Built in 1851 for the Crown Land Agent, Alexander McNabb, this Georgian style house originated as a 16 X 18 foot log building. The Georgian features of the house include its symmetrical façade and 6-over-6 windows. Alexander McNabb, his wife, and 4 children, lived in the house where McNabb also conducted business beginning in 1852, selling land lots through a rear window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca838e3560c341728710b2/1564003254403-PP9YG00SQCFDWU9Z18JQ/18+Huron+St+N--Captain+Spence+House.JPG New Page 18 Huron Street N (circa early 1850s) After arriving in Southampton in 1848 and living in a log cabin at the mouth of the Saugeen River for 2 years, Southampton’s first permanent immigrant settler from Scotland, Captain John Spence, built this one-and-one-half storey Regency cottage, which is remarkable for retaining so many of its original architectural features.
