Louck's Farm Loucks Farmhouse: This building was constructed in the 1850s on the banks of the St. Lawrence on Lot 22, Front Concession, Williamsburg Township. Built on a farm owned by Captain John W. Loucks, a veteran of the War of 1812, who fought at Crysler's Farm and Lundy"s Lane. Loucks Main Barn: Owned by the Summers family who built it on the Williamsburg township riverfront directly south from where the Village now stands, this structure is a typical Loyalist barn built in the style of so-called "Dutch" or "Scoharie" barns, with three bays separated by supporting posts and beams. Loucks Poultry House and Pig Pen: This small log building was brought to the Village from the Kingston area near Cataraqui. It represents the sort of early log house built by Loyalist pioneers and subsequently used as an animal shelter. It was built around 1795 by the Loyalist Harpell family who had a 200 acre farm where Highway 401 presently intersects with Sydenham Rd. The original mantel of the fireplace was reconstructed and placed in the kitchen of the Hired Man's House. |
