19 John Street

Set close to the road this one-and-a-half storey house displays some of the Gothic Revival characteristics such as the three bay main elevation with central entry, flanking windows, and centre gable window. It is believed that the house was built c. 1865-1875, when the property was purchased by John Thomas Stock from the Creen family. Mr. Stock was a village merchant and owner of the building at the corner of Mill Street North and Dundas Street where the first telephone in Waterdown was installed, May 1882.
