• Name	William Young
  Born	1813	, Scotland   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Historic Building	768 Blair Rd., Cambridge, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada
  	Slit Barn
  	The 3,000 square foot slit barn (slit-window stone barn) is one of the community's most recognizable landmarks as it has stood along Blair Road for about 170 years. Believed to be built by the William Young Family, Matthew Wilks bought the farm in the 1860's adding to his property, the Cruickston Park Farm, which eventually became rare. The barn is an excellent, and relatively rare, example of a transitional barn type with a three bay Scottish barn design, but incorporating aspects of the 'German' bank barn, common on the Mennonite farms of the area, in terms of its design and siting.
