This house, built in 1870, was purchased for the daughter of Dr. Field in 1882. Dr. Field was a
practicing physician in Pickering Village, and would later build his own home directly east of the
property. In 1929, Emerson & Henrietta Bertrand purchased the home and raised Allan Irwin.
The family gave up the homestead in 1934 only to have it reclaimed in 1977 by the grandson,
J. B Bertrand (son of Allan). This house is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
