BELLE VUE Built between 1816 and 1819 for Robert Reynolds, Deputy Assistant Commissary General of the garrison at Fort Malden, Belle Vue consists of a central core flanked, in keeping with the Palladian architectural style, by a wing on each side. The hipped roof and symmetrical front of the main part of this brick dwelling are evidence of the British classical style. The imposing chimneys integrated into the roof, the moulded panels of the front door and the wide multi-paned windows are decorative features characteristic of the classical look in this type of structure.

Français

La maison Belle Vue a été construite entre 1816 et 1819 pour Robert Reynolds, commissaire de la garnison du fort Malden. Comme il est fréquent dans l'architecture domestique de cette époque, la partie centrale de cette résidence de briques se caractérise par un toit en croupe, d'imposantes cheminées et des ouvertures disposées de façon symétrique. A l'origine, de longs corridors reliaient cette portion de la maison à des pavillons latéraux, selon les principes de l'architecture palladienne. L'édifice a été quelque peu modifié au cours des ans mais on a su en conserver le caractère britannique.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
