History
Isaac Cort Wilson bought the property where the building now stands in the 1880s and established a market garden farm on the 100 acre property providing such crops as raspberries, beets, peas etc. In 1902-03 he built the present building. Isaac Wilson was active in church life and was a founder, Sunday School leader and superintendent of the Non-Denominational Church called St. Cuthberts which eventually became an Anglican Church. In 1918 Ernest Lancaster Wilson, son of Isaac Wilson, took ownership of the farm, house and property. The property may be the location of a prehistoric Aboriginal encampment.
