Dalgleish House, 81 Water Street South, Cambridge, ON

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Old-Galt-Histor...:

 

The Dalgleish House (circa 1851) at 81 Water Street South: James Dalgleish, a stone mason, was one of the Galt’s first architect-builders. He constructed many of the best buildings in Galt and the neighbouring township. His own house, combining Georgian and Italianate features was considered an advanced example of building construction. The beautiful pattern on the exterior walls was formed by the expert use of gray, charcoal and pink granite.
