11820 10th Sideroad
George Cook purchased the property from George Wrigglesworth in 1870 and built the home shortly after.
Cook built a sawmill nearby and that led to population growth in Ashgrove. Cook sold the property to his son William in 1880, who then sold it to James Barnes in 1906.
Barnes farmed the property until his death in 1942, when it was transferred to his son Horace, who established Ashgrove Welding. The Barnes family moved in 1953, selling the property to James McCarthy.
McCarthy deeded it to his wife in 1969, and then transferred it to the current owners in 1970.
The home "has physical and design value as a representative example of a late-19th-century agricultural residence in the Gothic Revival style. The existing wooden bargeboard and use of dichromatic brick display a high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit."
