This house is located just inside the property of the Chesley Centennial Cemetery.
The house has been visibly modified to serve as a storage building and looking in the downstairs windows you can see the second storey floor is missing. It is yet another historical building, that while not completely neglected like some, has been defaced in order to serve another purpose. It could, with extensive renovation, make a great information center for the cemetery (certainly a better use than a storage shed for equipment).
Yellow is a popular brick colour in Chesley, Ontario, though you will find many of the older manor homes to be constructed in red brick. A brick-yard was constructed in 1890, operating for over a decade and producing over 800,000 bricks per year.
Another small red brick building is located just to the west of this one that houses coffins awaiting burial.
