10295 10 Sideroad - Stewart's Castle
The home, known as Stewart's Castle, was built in 1856 by James Stewart, one of the first settlers of Scotch Block. Along with John Stewart, he advocated for 6,000 acres to be set aside for Scottish settlers. It was built using hand-pressed bricks made from local clay and is described as "an excellent example of Georgian-style architecture" in staff's report.
It was later owned by the Huffman family from 1896-1954, by Tony Seynuck, who discovered large natural gas deposits in the area and by Dick Howitt, who had a law practice in Georgetown and was a councillor for Esquesing Township.
