About This Home

The historic John and Sarah Lawrence House, circa 1865, this remarkable limestone residence stands among Brockville's most treasured heritage properties. Situated on a 3/4 acre lot within the city, it offers a rare combination of history, privacy, mature gardens, and enduring architectural beauty. Constructed of locally quarried limestone and designated for its heritage significance, the home is recognized as one of the few surviving early rural centre-gable farmhouses remaining within Brockville's city limits. Its distinctive central gable, stone detailing, original wood flooring, and impressive craftsmanship reflect an era when homes were built to endure for generations. The home's history reveals itself in the stonework, where carefully crafted arches, keystones, and period masonry details continue to tell the story of this remarkable residence. Rich in history, the home once owned by John Matheson, MP for Leeds and later a judge, remembered as one of the principal architects behind the adoption of Canada's national flag; forever linking this property to an important chapter of Canadian history. Sunlight streams through deep-set windows, illuminating inviting rooms filled with warmth, character, and timeless charm. The limestone walls, rich wood floors, and authentic architectural details create an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. Outside, the grounds are enchanting. Mature trees, perennial gardens, winding pathways, and a stunning circular garden accented by brick walkways create a private sanctuary rarely found within city boundaries. Detached double-car garage complements the property while preserving the charm of this historic setting. Offering 4+1 bedrooms, 2 full baths, inviting principal rooms, porch and patio areas, municipal sewer service, a private well, and a quality roof with transferable warranty, this is far more than a house, it is an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Brockville's most cherished homes.
