Lawrence, an early settler in the pioneer community of Hurontario Mills at the mouth of the Pretty River, and the the first Clerk of the Town of Collingwood when it was incorporated in 1858. The red and buff brick front addition was completed in 1877 by Thomas and Elizabeth Fair, prominent merchants in this early community of Upper Canada.
