About Inverarden House
Canada counts Inverarden House as Cornwall’s National Historic Site. Inverarden House dates from 1816–1824.
Situated on a rise of land, looking down a narrow curving drive surrounded by trees, Inverarden House is a simple, one-and-a-half storey, rough stone structure, set on a high basement and sporting a truncated hipped roof. Its main façade, flanked by pyramidal roofed wings, contains casement windows on either side of its elegant central doorway, which is in a temple-like entrance porch. There is a decorative cornice at the roof level. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
