1. Robertson House Marker
United Empire Loyalist Jeremiah French settled his family west of Cornwall on land beside the St. Lawrence River. Sometime after 1784, he constructed a small timber framed home which he sold in 1812 to his son-in-law, George Robertson. By 1820, Mr. Robertson had enlarged the house to the neo-classical structure visible today. The house was continuously occupied by the Robertson family until 1957, when it was moved 25 kilometers west to Upper Canada Village. Today, the Robertson House represents a middle class home in the 1860s.
Le United Empire Loyalist Jeremiah French a établi sa famille à l'ouest de Cornwall sur un terrain au bord du fleuve Saint- Laurent. Quelque temps après 1784, il a construit une petite maison à ossature de bois qu'il a vendue en 1812 à son gendre, George Robertson. Vers 1820, monsieur Robertson a agrandi la maison à la structure de style néo-classique que l'on voit aujourd'hui. La maison fut occupée continuellement par la famille Robertson jusqu'en 1957, quand elle a été déménagée vingt-cinq kilomètres vers l'ouest à Upper Canada
