History
The Granary is a rare surviving example of the simple stone warehouse constructed during the mid 19th-century. The Granary is the only building of its type to stand on its original location in Ontario. Built by Peter McDougald and William Francis Romain, it is a reminder of the prosperous wheat trading days in Oakville. It is a well-proportioned building made of warm brown local stone and light gray Kingston limestone, imported as ballast on wooden ships plying Lake Ontario.
