Description

This house, built in the 1860s, is still standing to this day. This photo gives a view of the house as it appeared in the 1980s. The house remains largely the same on the exterior. The house sports an elegant bay window and covered porch over the front door. The balcony above is supported by square pillars with elaborate brackets. A small lantern can be see hanging above the front door. This home was built for local resident A.J. Belch, the publisher of the St. Marys Argus.

In the winter and early spring of 1982-1983, Randall Speller, a colleague of Larry Pfaff from the Art Gallery of Ontario, took a series of black and white photographs of houses of architectural significance in St. Marys. Larry Pfaff and several local friends who shared this interest in architecture took some additional photographs in a subsequent summer. This photograph is one of this series.
