Duncan McPherson House
Biographical Info
The Duncan McPherson House was completed around 1870 to 1885. The 1861 Census records a log house on the property, later constructed with stone. The limestone Victorian villa had an addition placed at the rear of the residence later in the 1880s. The unusual design is notable in Puslinch for the mid-1800s. The Duncan McPherson House still has the original ruby glass over the front entrance, as well as original porch and gingerbread trim.
The property is historically associated with Scottish immigration from Inverness Shire, Clan McPherson, and the settlement of Crieff.
