“This historic property was built in 1851 by David Gibson, a Scottish immigrant, land surveyor and participant of the Rebellion of 1837. For his activities in the Rebellion, his house was destroyed and he was banished from Upper Canada, so he fled to nearby western New York, settling with his family in Lockport. Though he was threatened with losing his land, he continued to own the property in what was then York County, near Toronto. His wife was not banished, and she was able to travel between Lockport and Toronto to collect rents and profits on the farmstead.
A provincial plaque tells of David Gibson’s storied life.
In 1843 David Gibson was pardoned, along with many who took part in the Rebellion. He returned with his family to York County in 1848, and built this house in 1851. Its style reflects a properous man, and some of its furniture and engravings reflect his U.S. residence in motif.” Wikipedia
