The Schroeder House

Situated on a 950 square metre residential lot on the north side of the street, in Portsmouth Village, the property includes a representative example of an early19^th century one-and-a-half storey wood frame Georgian cottage. Typical of the Georgian style is the side gable roof with twin brick chimneys and a central neoclassical entranceway with side lights, flanked by symmetrically placed windows. The Schroeder House is named for James and Ann Schroeder who built the house in 1844. The former Village of Portsmouth has a distinct heritage character, consisting of a historic village atmosphere, and a variety of built heritage resources including frame and stone dwellings from the 19th century. Its heritage attributes include its massing and wood frame construction, side gable roof with twin brick chimneys, and symmetrical fenestration pattern.
