Statement of Significance

An early Picturesque Gothic ashlar stone house, possibly derived from a pattern-book design, built in 1865 by James Young. Young established the Border Flour Mill, the Border Store and served in various public positions.

The house is locally significant historically as a representative embodiment of a way of life in the mid-1860s and demonstrates its association with important and influential local figure James Young. It is also significant as an early local substantial house.

It is of local architectural significance as a rare (purported) example of the influence of pattern-book designs, and as an intact representative example of the Picturesque Gothic style.
