Condition
Poor This ruin is the remnant of the home built by Ernest John Mason (1875-1948). Ernest married Flora Jane Oysten (1880-1943) in 1897 and they had eight children. Ernest purchased this property and built a modest home on the site in 1906. He worked as a teamster in the Pickering Brook area and the couple lived in the area for all their married life. The portion of the building which remains is the kitchen which is believed to have been built by Flora Mason after the completion of the main body of the residence.
