Description du lieu patrimonial
Built in 1853 in the Classical Revival style, Engleburn is located in the former village of Ashburnham, now part of the City of Peterborough. This 2-storey dwelling is recognized for its heritage value by City of Peterborough Bylaw 1980-116.
Valeur patrimoniale
The historical value of Engleburn resides in its association with the Burnham family. Architecturally, it is Peterborough's best example of the Classical Revival, also known as the English Palladium style. It was built in 1853 for the Reverend Mark Burnham, son of the Hon. Zaccheus Burnham, the largest landowner in Otonobee Township and Ashburnham village. Rev. Burnham was the fifth rector of Peterborough's oldest church, St. John's Anglican, and also helped found St. Luke's Church in Ashburnham.
