Lambton House
Lambton House operated as a hotel from its inception, c.1848, until its closing in 1988. Built on Howland land by William Tyrrell to the design of Rowland Burr, it functioned as a stage coach stop and business centre.
William Pearce Howland, who had his mill offices just west of the hotel, was noted for his work as a father of confederation, and served as lieutenant-governor of Ontario from 1868 to 1873.
William Tyrrell, master builder, served 27 years on the council of York and then became first reeve of Weston in 1881.
Rowland Burr, designer and planner, designed a system of canal transportation for southern Ontario.
