1. McDiarmid House Marker
This two-story log house was built in 1864 by John McDiarmid, a late settler on Crown land in Roxborough Township, in the north end of Stormont County. Log homes remained popular where land was still being cleared. The house has a front door and upstairs window that show the skill of a competent carpenter. It was moved to Upper Canada Village in 1959, approximately 53 kilometers southwest from its original location. Today, this home is used to demonstrate hand processing of wool and other fibers.
Cette maison en bois rond à deux étages a été construite en 1864 par John McDiarmid, un colon tardif sur une terre de la Couronne dans le canton de Renborough, dans la partic nord du comté de Stormont. Les maisons en bois rond sont demeurées populaires là où l'on défrichait encore la terre. La maison a une porte avant et une fenêtre à l'étage qui témoignent de l'habileté d'un charpentier compétent. Elle a été déménagée à Upper Canada Village en 1959, environ cinquante-trois kilomètres au sud-ouest de son emplacement originel. Aujourd'hui, cette maison est utilisée pour illustrer le traitement à la main de la laine et d'autres fibres.
