The pictures from last week's Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) garden tour have made it to the computer. The disk reader had stopped working and now there's a new one that seems like magic it is so small.
Last week's highlight was 210 John Street. This was part of the Randwood Estate owned by Trisha Romance. The history of Randwood is HERE. I don't know the history of severing this house from the Rand property, but it now is separately owned by Barbara McArthur. She was on hand with information and stories about the house and gardens.
This is a large historical property with lots to experience - the house, gardens, even the stables were preserved. There were tree experts who take care of the trees on the property - and they pointed out the interesting native specimens.
I found a large historic account of the Town of Niagara HERE. It is written by Joseph E. Masters who lived in the late 1800's and died in 1955. So far, I haven't found an account of this house and its origins.
