Description
The Captain Dancy House, located at 108 East Street, is situated on the south side of East Street between Victoria Street South and Cambria Road South in the Town of Goderich. The property consists of a two-storey, stone Georgian style residence that was constructed in circa 1865.
The property was designated by the Town of Goderich in 1978 for its historical and architectural value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-Law 7 of 1978).
Valeur patrimoniale
The Captain Dancy House is associated with its owner Thomas Dancy, a captain on the schooners that plied the Great Lakes in the 19th century. Constructed in circa 1865, the Captain Dancy House is a typical mid 19th-century Georgian style residence. The material of its construction, limestone, makes this house quite unusual for the area. The many changes and additions that have taken place have not irrevocably altered this handsome stone building with its symmetrical former façade (now the north elevation) and dressed stone voussoirs over the windows and gable roof.
