Valeur patrimoniale
240 Union Street is a fine example of a Georgian-style house. It is a two-storey, single-detached structure with classic proportions that was built in circa 1870. The cut-limestone, broken course exterior walls are embellished by quoins. The roof is a medium pitched gable with a double stone chimney on either side. The symmetrical façade features a three-bay front, with one window on either side of the central entranceway. The windows are 6 over 6 sash, accented by louvered shutters. The first storey windows are surmounted by voussoirs and a flat transom. Sidelights highlight the front entranceway.
