TRACY HOUSE
1810
14 Carleton St. N
The date of construction of this house is unknown. Although
1810 is the date assumed in Tracy family tradition,
architectural details suggest it was built in the second
quarter of the 19th century. The house is of Georgian
architectural style. It has an ashlar (cut stone) front and
rubble stone sides. The straight rows of stone and narrow
bands of mortar are suggestive of the work of Scottish stone
masons. Throughout the house, holes and thimbles for stove
pipes give evidence of the era when it was heated by wood-
burning stoves. A kitchen wing was added around the 1850s.
Members of the Tracy family owned this house for 102 years.
