Regarding Eedson-Fyfe House circa 1849. The Eedson-Fyfe Houses cultural heritage value consists of the fact that it was one of the earlier houses constructed in the "New Survey" deeded to James Crooks in the 1820s and also in the relatively untouched condition of the exterior. Among the many residents over the centuries was Charles Camidge; who came to Canada as paymaster of the Grand Trunk railway, became headmaster of the Niagara Grammar School, and served briefly as a Justice of the Peace.
