The Harrigan House

Located on a 1900 square metre residential lot on the west side of the road, in the former Cataraqui Village, the property includes a one-and-a-half storey limestone dwelling with a single-storey tail, built in the 1860s for Ann and George Harrigan. Built in limestone, the Harrigan House is one of the earliest surviving stone dwellings in or near the former Cataraqui Village. This makes the Harrigan House a rare example of a small vernacular stone dwelling from the mid-19th century in this area of Kingston. With its shallow setback, limestone construction, age and location on Sydenham Road, the Harrigan House shares a visual and historical relationship with its surroundings and is an important part of the historical context of the neighbourhood and helps to maintain the character of the former village. Its heritage attributes include the limestone dwelling with rear tail, gable roof, and regular fenestration pattern.
