    Historic Building:
    This rambling old house has great historical interest, being of an early date (1844) and the birthplace of one of Canada's foremost landscape painters, Homer Watson. The Watson family business was a woollen mill, later taken over by Peddlar and cole and susequently destroyed by fire. The building is a long low structure, consisting of sections of varied height. There is a bay window in the angle of two sections facing Tilt Drive, and a trellised porch between wings on the Doon Village Road side. The apple trees, large maples and out buildings of its prominent corner setting contribute greatly to the rural character of the Village.1a
