REASON FOR DESIGNATION
The Christian House dates back to 1860 and has long been of
architectural and historical significance to the hamlet of
Whitevale. The Miller House was built between 1825 and 1835
and the method of construction is native to the lower St.
Lawrence Valley. It was probably built by one of the French
Canadian loggers working on clearing the Great Pine Ridge.
Since the first saw mill in Whitevale is thought to have been
built about 1820, the builder very likely used some of the first
planks that he cut in the new mill. The Miller and Christian
houses, together with other buildings in the hamlet of Whitevale
are outstanding examples of 19th century dwellings in a rural
Ontario village.
