George Terry built this house on a circular cellar which may have been
Acadian.
The building is a designated historical site and is an example of the
Horton - Yankee style of architecture which evolved from roots in England
and Connecticut. This also reflected the individuality of the owner.
History of Kings County, Eaton, page 30
George Terry house N45°04.530' W064°29.307' might have been
built over an Acadian cellar.
In Acadian time, there was a brook beside this site. However later the
Mill brook was diverted to activate a Mill.
Instead of crossing today's Canaan Ave and running beside the Terry's
house the brook now run between Willow lane and Brook ave.
