The Mather-Walls House.

The Mather-Walls House is one of the few tangible links with northwestern Ontario's early development.

Today, the house contains an interpretive display highlighting the significant impact of the Mather family on the development of the area.

Restoration of the Mather-Walls House began in 1978. By 1981, reconstruction of the outbuildings and exterior details, such as the verandah, had been completed. In 1984 a two year interior restoration was undertaken.

The Mather-Walls House has been the subject of archaeological, architectural and historical studies. Artifacts such as ceramics and glass bottles were unearthed in an excavation, revealing a wealth of information about the lifestyles of the families who lived here over the past one hundred years.
