ANNANDALE HOUSE Exuberant ceiling paintings, stained glass, richly decorated fireplaces and woodwork make the interior of Annandale an excellent illustration of the Aesthetic Movement. This international movement reacted against the growing use of mass-produced decorative items in house design, and instead promoted a revival of craftsmanship. Finished in 1887, Annandale reflects the taste and aspirations of E.D. Tillson, an important entrepreneur and first mayor of Tillsonburg. The exterior shows the influence of standardized house designs on Canadian architecture in the 19th century.

LA MAISON ANNANDALE Les peintures exubérantes des plafonds, les vitraux, les foyers et les boiseries somptueusement décorés font de la maison Annandale une des illustrations les plus éloquentes du mouvement esthétique au Canada. Ce dernier, d'envergure internationale, s'opposait à l'utilisation croissante d'éléments décoratifs fabriqués en série et encourageait plutôt le travail de l'artisan. Complétée en 1887, cette maison reflète le goût et les aspirations de E. D. Tillson, un entrepreneur qui fut le premier maire de Tillsonburg. L'extérieur illustre l'influence des designs normalisés dans l'architecture canadienne du XIXe siècle.
