82 Wellington Street North – The Neo-Classical designed house and coach house were built for the family of Jennet (McDonald) and Homer Pratt Brown in 1860. In 1844 Brown became a partner with the Woodstock Foundry (515 Dundas Street). Brown was a member of town council, Mayor in 1861 and County Treasurer for many years. The sills and supporting lintels were metal and made at Brown’s foundry. Since Brown was an active member of the Masonic Lodge there is an emblem of the Eastern Star, as a window, found in the pediment above the front door. The squared, paired, Doric pillars frame the front porch which shelters a rectangular transom and side lights which are divided into many rectangular lights. Decorative brackets in pairs add symmetry to the design. Each window has a decorative lintel; above the second-story front hall window, there is a larger stone lintel with an English Rose on each side of acanthus leaves; small brackets of acanthus leaves support the lintel.
