Solomon Fox House

1633 Elgin Street, Ruthven Ontario N0P 2G0

Description

The Solomon Fox House is a 2½-storey house constructed in 1899 in the Queen Anne academic style.  The building’s historical value lies in its association with Solomon Fox who was a successful farmer in the region from 1871 until 1891.  He was forced to retire due to a stroke which left him partly paralyzed.  Solomon Fox became a highly respected citizen of Ruthven and was an active member of the Methodist Church and a veteran of the Beaver Lodge, I.O.O.F.  The house is one of the oldest homes in Ruthven.

Key heritage attributes include:
Cut fieldstone foundation
Porches with spindle columns and works in the friezes
Hip roof
Decorative wood trim around windows and doors
Vintage working doorbell
Wooden staircase and bannister with spindles
7-inch high baseboards
Inner wooden front and side doors
