ALL AND SINGULAR that certain parcel or tract of land and premises situate, lying and being in the Town of Kincardine, County of Bruce and Province of Ontario and being composed of part of Lot 1, being a subdivision of Lot 4 south side of Durham Street, Plan 61, more particularly described as Parts 1 and 2 according to Reference Plan 3R-3345. SCHEDULE "B" REASONS: Built by Peter McDonald of Huron Township in 1859. Later, circa 1919, when property of James Geddes, also of Huron Township, the west part of this spectacular house was moved onto the corner lot at Huron Terrace and Durham Street and became the core of the house now on the corner lot. The present owner of 860 Huron Terrace is Betty Carter, a descendant of early settlers of the Town, who is carrying out extensive renovations restoring the exterior and interior of the dwelling. ARCHITECTURAL REASONS: The Architecture of the house is "Carpenter Gothic" a specimen of the often elaborate sytle of artisan - builders in the 19th century. The elaborate detail is noticeable particularly in the self-standing hexagonal tower with its stained glass windows, the house's ginger- bread trim and the elaborate finial terminating its pennacle on the front of the house are features worthy of preserving. The intricate woodwork on the exterior also reflects this style of "Carpenter Gothic". The owner has rebuilt a porch across the front of the house over the front entrance which blends in with the original style. .
