Margaret McLennan Log House
Biographical Info
The Alexander McLennan House, or Margaret McLennan House, is a one-and-a-half storey log house built around 1850. It is much larger compared to other log houses, especially those constructed in the 1830s and 1840s, but it has the same basic architecture of two rooms with stairs to a loft above. It is one of the few original log houses remaining in Puslinch today.
Alexander McLennan is the original owner of the property. By the 1906 Atlas, the Smith family owned the farm.
The Margaret McLennan House is historically associated with Scottish immigration from Uist and the settlement of Puslinch.
