About My Bungalow
Located in Ingleside, Ontario, Canada. The house was relocated from the village of Wales, Ontario in 1957 due to flooding of the St Lawrence River Valley for construction of the St Lawrence Seaway. It was the last house moved from the village of Wales and the heaviest house moved overall.
Constructed by A. Stuart, assumed before 1920. Locally known as a "California" house.
Favorite Details
Lots of original Arts and Crafts features - wood, window nooks with bench seats, prominent simply designed stairway with two stairways (from front hall and kitchen) joining to one halfway up. Large open rooms. Partially enclosed porch was originally open but enclosed in original style, shortly after building. Large storage closets behind kneewalls.
Lessons Learned
- Keep everything simple, the Arts and Crafts style loves simplicity.
