Description
Located on a southern hillside on Robinson Street in the former village of Ashburnham, now part of Peterborough, the Henry Calcutt house is a brick, Gothic Revival style dwelling with elaborate bargeboard trim. City of Peterborough Bylaw 1990-204 recognizes its interior and exterior elements and the carriage house for their heritage value.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Henry Calcutt house resides in its association with the Calcutt family of Peterborough and as the culmination of the domestic Gothic Revival style of architecture as it developed locally. Built in 1866 by John Craigie and Jonathan Stephenson, owners of a local lumber mill, the house was sold to Isabella Calcutt in 1869. Her husband, Henry, was a local brewer who also owned a mill, fleet of steamships, and a resort on nearby Rice Lake. The Calcutt family occupied the house for over seventy years. The dwelling is an adaptation of the Gothic Revival style, featuring a high center gable and well-preserved bargeboard trim, with Italianate window detailing.
