The George Calvert House, built in 1846, is set to receive official heritage status from the Town of Milton.
Located at 11668 First Line in Nassagaweya, this one-story Regency-style stone home was constructed by early settler George Calvert for his wife, Mary. It remains one of the few original stone settlement homes in the area.
The George Calvert House, built in 1846, is set to receive official heritage status from the Town of Milton.
Located at 11668 First Line in Nassagaweya, this one-story Regency-style stone home was constructed by early settler George Calvert for his wife, Mary. It remains one of the few original stone settlement homes in the area.
The current owner has voluntarily applied for heritage designation, and Milton town officials have identified the house as a significant cultural landmark under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The home showcases classic Regency-style architecture, featuring a medium hip roof, protruding eaves, and plain soffits. The west elevation has a symmetrical three-bay façade with finely cut stonework, while the central entrance—accessible via four stone steps and a landing with steel railings—is framed by a six-panel door with moulded trims.
Another distinctive feature is the single-flue stone chimney.
As part of the designation process, a 30-day objection period will be observed. If no objections are raised, the final designation bylaw will be submitted to the Milton Town Council for approval.
