Description

The Horthy House is located at 87 Main Street North, on the corner of Main Street and North Street, in the Town of Seaforth, in the Municipality of Huron East. The one-and-a-half storey brick residence was constructed in 1872.

The property was designated, by the former Town of Seaforth (now Municipality of Huron East) in 1978, for its heritage value, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 12 for 1978.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Horthy House is associated with the Ament family. Constructed in 1872, it was one of the first of a number of residences built in the Seaforth area by John Ament. Ament's sons, William and Philip, operated a large planing mill on the two lots south of Horthy House.

The Horthy House is a one-and-a-half storey brick residence with a central gable, a style popular at the time. The Horthy House features a prominent semi-circular head window in the gable above a central entrance. The main entrance has a rectangular transom and sidelights.
