The Daniels family were among the earliest settlers of Markham Township. The Daniels-Fairty House is a stuccoed, 1½ storey brick dwelling resting on a fieldstone foundation. The walls are built of local pinkish-red brick, visible where the later stucco cladding has broken away. The roof is a low-pitched gable. The eaves have a wide overhang typical of the mid-19th century period of construction, and are decorated with Classical Revival cornice mouldings and deep eaves returns. In the 1940s, Elmer Fairty purchased the former John Daniels property, which was in more recent times owned by a relative, Howard Fairty and his wife, Anna. Today the building is owned by the Town of Markham.   Contemporary Photograph Heritage Photograph         Key Map Please note that the yellow polygon symbol is not indicative of the actual heritage area and is only meant to highlight the property the heritage building(s) is located at.
