The Rankin House

Located in the new Creek Valley subdivision in the Village of Westbrook on an 1800 square metre lot, the property contains an unusual example of a mid-19th century 1.5 storey vernacular limestone farmhouse with a bell-cast mansard roof. The building displays a high degree of artistic merit for a simple farmhouse, including well-dressed limestone and detailed window casings in the dormers, which, together with its oversized lot, makes it a landmark in the area. The Rankin House helps to define and maintain the historic rural character of the area. Heritage attributes include the stone farmhouse, with its mansard roof and various architectural details.
