One of the last remaining Canadian Northern Section Houses in Canada, this former Section Crew Foreman’s Residence was built in 1912. In 1995, this house was moved across the road onto museum property and is currently under restoration.
This is similar to many section houses that were built by the railways to house their worker’s families. Most of these homes in Eastern Ontario are all gone, but this home was moved across the street (Rideau Lumber site) to be saved from destruction.
