Demolished House in Markham, Ontario, Canada

On the north side of Elgin Mills Road East, just east of Kennedy road, you will come across this unique looking farmstead, sitting in plain view, down a long treed laneway.

Concession 6, lot 26, was settled by Frederick Quantz. Fred had married Margaret Puterbough and the couple had ten children. Margaret died in 1854, and Fred wed a Mrs Mary Lundy, with which he had another two children. This would certainly explain the need for such a large house. ;)

This barn has been fenced off for awhile now, and this past weekend the gate was open so I ventured in. This can be found on Elgin Mills, between McCowan and Kennedy on the north side. - Brooklin Guy.
