In 1836 Alexander Burnside of Toronto purchased this land at 104 Kingston Rd. E. for 500
pounds. It would change hands several times, the last owners being Mr. and Mrs. Bryant,
who bought the house in 1946. The Burnside-Bryant House was built around 1840 and was a
Georgian-style farmhouse of granite fieldstone. The house was torn down in 1993 and a plaque
to mark the site was erected in 1994 by Ajax LACAC (now known as the Heritage Ajax Advisory
Committee). The plaque is located at the Durham Centre, by the Black's Photo store.
