In 1832, William Dunbar laid out a townsite near Kingston Road which was later relocated and
called Fairport/Dunbarton. When the Grand Trunk Railway arrived, it passed close enough to
warrant a station. In time, the station developed into the village
of Dunbarton.
This wood-frame house is believed to have been built around 1870 and was used as a way
station for stagecoaches. It once had a circular driveway and a large barn. The elaborate
porch, although sadly deteriorated, is still a reminder of its impressive past.
