Markham Register of Property of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

Address: 4822 19TH AVE Original Address: Property Legal Description: CON 6 PT LOT 31 Historical Name: The Samuel Kendrick Farmhouse Heritage Conservation District: Ward: 6 Year Built: 1840 Architect Style: Georgian Tradition Heritage Status of Property: Listed Designation Bylaw: Heritage Easement Agreement: No         History Description Samuel Kendrick owned both properties (lot 30 and 31, west half concession 6) at the time of the 1861 Census, his home may have been described on the wrong lot. It seems likely that Samuel had the brick home built in time to give the original log home to John Hoover and his bride as a wedding present. (1859). This hypothesis is further supported by the fact that David, Samuel's youngest son, is listed in a brick home on Lot 31, Concession 6, on the 1901 Census. It was general practice that the youngest son inherited the family farm in Mennonite culture. According to the 1851 and 1861 Census reports, Samuel and Rosanna Kendrick may have been born in the U.S. but their children were born in Markham suggesting they immigrated circa 1830. They were farmers, originally of Mennonite faith.   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.
