Description

This brick one storey Regency style cottage is located southwest of Peterborough’s commercial centre.

It is recognized for its heritage value by the City of Peterborough Bylaw # 1980-116.

Valeur patrimoniale

The heritage value of the James Menzies House is as an excellent example of a 19th century Regency cottage, built using an uncommon arrangement of brick laying methods.

The cottage was built in 1870 for James Menzies, a Scottish immigrant and tailor. His wife and their 8 children occupied the small house many years after James’s death in 1885.

The cottage is a 1 storey, square, centre hall plan dwelling. The brickwork is laid in an unusual combination of Flemish bond on the two street front facades, and Common bond on the remaining sides.
