Henry P. Scratch House

121 Laurel Street, Kingsville Ontario N9Y 2B3

Description

The Henry P. Scratch House is a single-storey house constructed in 1902 in the Gothic Cottage style.  Henry P. Scratch was a successful farmer and the grandson of Capt. Nicholas Lytle who fought for the British in the battle of Lundy’s Lane in the War of 1812.  Henry was one of the fourth generations of Scratches to live on the family homestead.  Henry purchased the lot in 1902 from Ernestina Grenier and started collecting stone to build the house that year.  While he lived in town, it was close enough to his farm that he was within walking distance.  One afternoon when walking to the farm he fell to his death as a freight train passed by.

Key heritage attributes include:
Turned decorative columns
Building materials from the local brick yard
Stone foundation
Orange brick
Original flooring with wormholes in some places
Stripped Georgian Pine trim
