Vanishing Farmhouses
The historic farmhouses of Halton Hills (Esquesing Township) display a unique variety of size, architectural styles and building materials. However, they are quickly vanishing from our rural landscape. Some of the reasons for this are: • 100 to 200 years of weathering • inadequate heating, electrical, plumbing systems or insulation for the present or future needs • generational family owners moving away • situated on development lands allocated for future homes
We have attached a few photos below including their location and status.
If you have a photo of a Halton Hills farmhouse with some supporting information send it to us and we can include it on this web site.
