Greystone Farm

Greystone Farm is associated with brothers William and George Campbell, settlers and farmers in the former Township of Chinguacousy. William Campbell bought the land from the Canada Company in 1835 and sold it to his brother George in 1845. Records suggest the house was constructed in the early 1860s.

The second storey of the farmhouse displays elaborate interior detailing in strong contrast to the simplicity of that on the ground floor. One hypothesis for this difference comes from the building's original name, The Grange, which may have been associated with a secret society of the same name. It is possible that the society met in the second storey of the farmhouse, which could explain the intricate woodwork. Popular locally in the 1860s, this society later developed into a farm and labour organization.

Greystone Farmhouse is a good representation of Georgian architecture. Its symmetrical five bay facade focuses on the centre entrance, which is topped by a four light transom and flanked on each side by two six over six sash windows. The five windows on the second storey mirror the placement of windows and doorway below. The house maintains a simple style emphasised by a stone slab above each window and quoins at the corners of the building. A one storey frame addition located on the north side elevation originally served as a summer kitchen.

Farm related outbuildings are also located on the property.
