Buffett House (Grand Bank)

---

In a town filled with fine houses, this is one of the finest, its major rival being the Thorndyke Hotel. Built about 1905 by a local builder, Harry Camp, it is somewhat difficult to categorize stylistically in that its pronounced use of overhanging eaves, heavy brackets and projecting dormer window suggesting a form of the bracketed villa that was popular in North America half a century before the Buffett house was built. What does bring it somewhat closer to its own era is the sense of great size -- a size which would not be in keeping with the mid-Nineteenth Century cottages and villas.
