This small stone house was originally built on the Crysler property, four kilometers west of here. It was owned by Geronimus Crysler, brother of Colonel John Crysler. The exact date of construction in the early 1800s is unknown. In 1846, John Pliny Crysler used it as the kitchen wing of his large Classic Revival home facing the St. Lawrence River. Moved to the Upper Canada Village in 1957, it became, once again, a separate home, first for a schoolmaster and, presently, the local dressmaker.
Cette petite maison en pierre fut d'abord construite sur la propriété Crysler, à quatre kilomètres à l'ouest d'ici. Elle appartenait à Geronimus Crysler, frère du colonel John Crysler. La date exacte de la construction au début des années 1800 est inconnue. En 1846, John Pliny Crysler l'utilisait comme aile pour la cuisine de sa grande demeure de style reviviscence classique qui faisait face au fleuve Saint-Laurent. Déménagée à Upper Canada Village en 1957, elle est devenue, encore une fois, une demeure distincte, d'abord pour l'instituteur et, actuellement, pour la couturière locale.
