LYNNWOOD This Classical Revival house was built about 1850 for Duncan Campbell, banker, land commissioner and Simcoe's first postmaster. It achieves dignity through fine proportions and skilful use of classical motifs, rather than from the monumentality often associated with this style. The staircase, interior woodwork, including the seven original fireplaces and mantels, and the decorative plaster ceiling medallions and cornices, are all of exceptional quality.

Français

Cette maison a été construite vers 1850 pour Duncan Campbell, banquier, agent des terres et premier maître de poste de Simcoe. Loin d’être colossale comme les maisons de style néo-classique, elle est remarquable par l’harmonie de ses proportions et l’habile disposition de ses ornements classiques. Sa décoration intérieure, soit l’escalier central, les boiseries, les sept foyers et manteaux originaux, les plafonds ornés de médaillons, ainsi que les corniches, a une valeur artistique exceptionnelle.

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.
