In 1857, Brereton Bunting opened a general store in Pickering Village and continued to
operate it for 30 years. His son Richard took over the store in 1887. After retiring as a merchant,
Mr. Bunting became a lay preacher who also served as justice of the peace and postmaster.
His daughter, Ida, a life-long resident of the village, attended Pickering Public School and
Pickering College. The house remained in the Bunting family from 1882 to 1946.
This house is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
