History

T he property is now proudly the heritage

designation in scenic enclave of St. Catharines’ westernmost gateway on Hwy. 8, a former Indian trail, and one of the oldest roads in Niagara.

The building was constructed in two stages. The original stone part at the rear was built first and dates back to 1812. Captain John McCarthy purchased the land in 1828, he operated it as an Inn and Stage shop under the moniker ‘McCarthy’s Tavern’ from the early 1830’s until at least 1837. It was rumored that McCarthy shot the man responsible for killing General Isaac Brock.

Architecture

T he main house was built in the Georgian

Vernacular Style. The gabled ends are trimmed and have decorative brackets with a pendant.

The house now boasts modern electricity, plumbing and conveniences of a modern estate.

We look forward to showing you the history of the property, hidden rooms, staircases and passageways throughout.
