At that time the house was in a rural setting surrounded by farmland and dusty concession roads. Jordan Post, from Toronto, moved to Pickering with his wife Matilda in 1838 and proceeded to construct the home. With a stone foundation and cut fieldstone exterior, the house is stylish and sturdy. There are shake and metal roofs, an exceptional verandah trimmed with gingerbread and detailed chimneys for the two interior marble fireplaces. The main door hints at a Greek Revival Style popular at the time. Only the best timber was used from the family mill for interior trim and floors. Unique hardware, mortar brackets, shutters and windows compliment this comfortable century building. There is an unusual arched entrance to the basement.
