TWW Comment

This building was constructed around 1770 by John Easson. In 1837 it was sold to Elizabeth Bailey, the widow of Thomas Henry Bailey. Together with her three daughters, Bailey ran an aristocratic boarding house at the property. It was immortalised in the work of author Thomas Chandler Haliburton who referred to it as "Marm Bailey's". It is still open as a bed and breakfast known as Bailey House.
