Description du lieu patrimonial

The Goldie Harris house is an early South Arm home situated in a fairly isolated area among large agricultural fields on a quiet narrow road. The house, located close to the road, is a large two-storey structure, with vertical massing and a hipped roof, while the lot has a garden and a number of mature trees.

Valeur patrimoniale

The Goldie Harris House is valued for its historical association with pioneer Thomas Kidd. The house was owned by Goldwin ('Goldie') Herschel Harris, whose wife was the eldest daughter of Thomas Kidd. Thomas Kidd later lived and wrote in the house until his death. The house is a landmark in the area, and is a good example of an early prosperous farmhouse, surrounded by gardens, orchards and agricultural fields. The property is significant for its retention of its agricultural function, appearance and setting. The house is part of the distinct historical landscape setting of the South Arm Slough district.
