511 Main Street, Glen Williams
The red brick home was built in 1865 for Joseph Williams, who was the manager of the Williams Mill. The building, part of the Williams Mill complex next door, was added to the Town’s heritage register in 2007.
The staff report cites the home as “a significant landmark at the south gateway to the community.”
The property was sold to carpenter John Hepburn Jr. and his wife Isobel in 1939. Hepburn was employed at the Apple Products Plant for several years and operated the Glen Taxi service.
Isobel Hepburn took full ownership in 1961 after her husband’s death in 1961. She sold it in 1973 and it has four owners, including Sheridan Nurseries, since then. The current owners purchased the home in 2010.
The Georgian architectural style was brought to Upper Canada by the English and United Empire Loyalists from the 1780s to 1870s.
