Bramford-Goheen House (1875) |
|
|
| 292 Queen Street South |
The Bamford family, including brothers William, John and Charles,
owned a lot of property in the vicinity of Princess and Queen Streets,
and this house is believed to have been built by Christopher Bramford
shortly after the first of the land was acquired in the 1870s. With a
tradition of carpentry in the family, the Bramford brothers are also
said to have built the Robinson-Bray House and the tower addition to
Trinity Anglican Church. The Bramford-Goheen house is an excellent example
of High Victorian Eclecticism featuring handsomely carved woodwork in
the gables and around the veranda. Note also the wood siding that has
been notched to look like stonework.
