Address: 9782 Kennedy Road, moved to 20 David Gohn Circle
The John Ramsay House at 20 David Gohn Circle is one of the last remaining homes from the Colty's Corners community. Built in 1850, this house originally was a one-and-a-half storey workers' cottage located at 9782 Kennedy Road. Sometime between 1900 and 1920 renovations were made to enlarge the second storey to turn the house into a full two-storey home. This house is a good example of a vernacular farmhouse with many of its original features maintained, which includes the vertical tongue and groove wood siding which was most likely added during construction in the early 1900s. Further evidence of the original 1850 construction date is seen in the house's interior, where supporting beams for the second storey are clad in ornate red cherry wood-a typical mid-19th century Germanic architectural feature. The house's original property on Kennedy Road was owned initially by Berczy settler John Frederick Stamm, who worked on clearing Yonge Street in 1795, adding another element of Markham's roots to this house's history. Stamm sold the property to John Hunter in 1821 who lived there with his family until he died and his wife Charlotte Hunter remarried and continued to live in the house until it was sold in 1875 to John Eckardt. Within a year Eckardt sold the house to John Ramsay. In the mid-1990s this house was relocated to Markham Heritage Estates for preservation and in 1999 the John Ramsay House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Frank Markham Farmstead in Spink County was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Photographs from nomination, 1985.
This farm in the James River Valley was settled by the Markham family in 1884 who lived at the site for 105 years. The farmstead includes a house, barn, two garages, chicken coop, and five granaries. Extensive groves of trees surround the place.
In the 1870s and early 1880s, that area of the valley had seen resistance by Chief Drifting Goose (Yanktonai) and his people to government surveyors, as well as violent land claim disputes after the first Euro-American settlers arrived in 1882.
Frank Markham and his new bride, Kate Kline, arrived in March, 1885. They had loaded their possessions on an immigrant car and rode the train from Minnesota to Mellette, Dakota Territory. From Mellette to their new place, their black stallion and bay mare pulled their single box spring wagon, loaded with their possessions and leading a Holstein cow. After digging a root cellar, Kate, the daughter of a carpenter, and Burt Austin, Frank's cousin, built a 18 by 20 ft., story-and-a-half frame home.
A six-volt wind charger (wind charger pole still in place) provided electricity from 1943 until Rural Electrification Association wires reached the home in 1952. The first garage was built in 1917 to house the first auto on the farm, a 1917
Model T Ford. An artesian well was dug in 1910 and still provided water for the farm at the time of nomination. In response to soil conservation efforts of the late 1930s, a grove of Chinese elms was planted to the west. Part owner of a horse drawn threshing machine, Frank threshed for others at harvest. He farmed the land, raising wheat for flour and as a cash crop. Oats, barley and hay were raised for animal feed. He milked the cow, hunted prairie chickens with an ancient muzzle-loading shot gun (aided by dog Grover, who was named after the president who signed Frank's homestead patent) and performed the other many tasks of the homesteader. Kate raised chickens, tended the garden (raising great quantities of turnips), did some plowing, and kept house. The couple raised two daughters, both born at home.
