Valeur patrimoniale

Sovereign House is associated with the Charles Sovereign family. The Sovereigns were one of the first families to settle in the Bronte Area. Charles Sovereign opened a school on his father's property in 1815 when he was only 17 years old, and in 1842 became the first local school inspector.

Sovereign House is a two storey brick residence built circa 1825 and is one of the oldest existing dwellings in Trafalgar Township. The residence features a gable roof, brick chimney and double hung windows with shutters. The residence is now used as a Heritage Display Centre.
