Homewood
Construction of Homewood was begun in 1800 by Dr. Solomon Jones, a prominent Loyalist, local officeholder and early resident of this region. With its balanced five-bay facade, centre hallway plan and classical detailing, it reflects the influence of British Palladianism, while its fieldstone construction and steeply pitched roof echo the Quebec tradition of its builder, the Montreal mason Louis Brillière. In spite of several additions, Homewood retains much of its original character and vividly reflects the way of life of a rural professional man in the early 19th century.
