The Ontario County House of Refuge was built between 1901-1903. It was located on the west side of High Street opposite John Street. It served as a house of refuge from 1903-1951 when it was replaced by Fairview Lodge. The building was used as apartments from 1951 until a fire in 1972. In the late 1970s it was renovated and converted into luxury apartments. The building is located at 300 High Street.
