• Miller-Cole House

This house was originally built in 1840. The deed was received in 1857 by Luton Miller and sold in 1881 to Amos Cole. It sat near the intersection of 16 th Avenue and Concession Rd. #9 in Markham. It depicts the rural home of an established, but not wealthy, farm family around 1870, just after Confederation.

The stacked plank construction (see kitchen wall) is an interesting feature of this house and indicates the abundance of timber available at the time. Please take care on the winding staircase.

The backyard features a four-square kitchen garden, laundry area. The Combination Barn and Beef Ring Barn complete this representative farm.
