This circa 1832 home is listed on the Register of Designated Properties under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The home was constructed by George Griggs, a Loyalist. It was later purchased in 1847 by Bartholomew Beardsley, Chief Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of New Brunswick and passed to his son James J. Beardsley in 1855. The property originally consisted of 50 acres and was referred to as "Beardsley's Grove". From a design perspective the home is an example of vernacular Loyalist Architecture. The building has ceilings that are supported by hand-hewn Ontario White Pine beams and originally had an exterior finish of stucco on lath walls. Some of the early glass window panes my still remain and some window sashes may still date back to 1832.
