History Description
This house is a wonderful example of a workers cottage with Gothic Revival influences. Most of the original windows and horizontal clapboard remain intact. In 1817 John Size purchased the lot at 248 Main Street Unionville upon which this house was built. After his death his widow sold ¼ of the lot to her son-in-law, Thomas Cameron. Shortly after the house was constructed it was sold to Jacob Size, a local blacksmith and carpenter.
