The R.P. Harman House
The R.P. Harman House
109 Brock Street East
The R.P. Harman House at 109 Brock Street East is a charming example of historic architecture in Uxbridge, showcasing the elegance and craftsmanship of the past. This L-shaped, 1 ½ storey frame house stands out with its distinctive blend of Gothic Revival elements. The home features large and small gables, adding depth and character to its exterior, while the front door—crafted in the Gothic style—serves as a focal point, welcoming visitors onto a quaint, railed verandah.
One of the home’s standout features is the intricate stained glass that adorns the sidelights and transom around the front door. This artistic detail not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and design trends of its time.
The house is tied to the legacy of Reuben P. Harman, a well-respected figure in Uxbridge. Harman was both a schoolteacher and a businessman, deeply rooted in the local community. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to own a Sash and Door Factory as well as the “Foundry – Aeric Machinery.” His contributions to Uxbridge’s development through education and industry reflect the house’s historical significance.
The R.P. Harman House stands as more than just a residential building; it’s a testament to Uxbridge’s rich history, offering a window into the lives of the people who helped shape the town during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Quaker Hill Public School
Discovering the Quaker Hill Public School
– 1924 –
Uxbridge Historical Centre
Nestled atop Quaker Hill, the Quaker Hill Public School stands as a charming reminder of a bygone era in Uxbridge’s history. Built in 1924, this original one-room brick schoolhouse served the community’s educational needs for 45 years, until its final class was dismissed in 1969. The modest building, with its simple architecture and picturesque surroundings, sat unused for several years before it was revived in 1972 by the Uxbridge-Scott Historical Society, transforming it into a museum.
What makes the Quaker Hill Public School truly special is how much of its original character has been preserved. The slate blackboard, still intact, offers a glimpse into the past when students’ lessons were written out in chalk, while the flanks of windows remain as a striking feature of the space. These windows not only fill the room with natural light but also provide a stunning view of the Uxbridge valley and the rolling countryside that surrounds it.
Today, the Quaker Hill Public School continues to be a vital part of the community. Far from being a static monument, the school has evolved into a popular rental venue, where its charm and history lend themselves to a variety of activities. It is regularly used for educational programs, workshops, meeting spaces, camps, and other events, offering both locals and visitors a unique backdrop for learning and gathering.
Whether you’re visiting for a history lesson, attending a workshop, or simply soaking in the view, the Quaker Hill Public School stands as a testament to Uxbridge’s dedication to preserving its rich heritage while continuing to serve the community in meaningful ways.

Township of Uxbridge Full Report
In September 2024, the real estate market in the Township of Uxbridge experienced significant price fluctuations and shifting buyer behaviour. The average sales price fell to $1,067,444, a 17.3% decrease from August’s $1,291,179, and marking a 19.4% decrease compared to September 2023’s $1,324,645. Despite the price drop, total sales remained relatively stable at 18, compared to 20 in August and 19 in September of last year. However, new listings surged to 70, double the 35 listings in August and significantly higher than the 56 recorded in September 2023. As a result, the months of inventory rose to 5.50 from 4.40, pushing the market further into balanced market territory.
A growing trend of price adjustments has become apparent, with 61% of listed homes seeing a downward price change. Many properties have been terminated and relisted at lower prices as sellers adjust to market realities. This trend is likely to persist, especially following the Federal Government’s recent announcement of changes to default mortgage insurance, raising the minimum value to $1.5 million and extending the 30-year amortization option to first-time homebuyers, effective December 15. Additionally, Bank of Canada rate announcements on October 23rd and December 11th are expected to keep some buyers on the sidelines, waiting to see the impact on interest rates and further downward pressure on the real estate market.

Township of Scugog Full Report
In September 2024, the real estate market in the Township of Scugog saw a notable decline in prices but an increase in activity. The average sales price dropped to $940,838, down 8.6% from August’s $1,029,883 and 17.5% lower than September 2023’s $1,140,500. Despite the price decrease, total sales for the month increased to 32, up from 23 in August and 21 in September last year, indicating a busier market. New listings also rose to 70, compared to 53 last month and 50 in September 2023, giving buyers more options. The months of inventory decreased slightly to 3.06, bringing the market to the low end of balanced territory, suggesting a more even playing field between buyers and sellers.
The market is seeing a growing number of properties with price adjustments, with 61% of listed homes lowering their asking prices. Many sellers are being forced to re-list at lower prices, reflecting the market’s current conditions. This trend is expected to continue, particularly with the Federal Government’s recent announcement to raise the default mortgage insurance minimum to $1.5 million and extend 30-year amortization to first-time homebuyers, effective December 15. The upcoming Bank of Canada rate announcements on October 23rd and December 11th could also keep some buyers cautious, as they wait for potential shifts in interest rates and further downward pressure on prices.

Township of Brock Full Report
In September 2024, the real estate market in the Township of Brock saw a sharp rise in prices, even as sales activity slowed. The average sales price surged to $898,438, representing a significant 19.9% increase from August’s $749,240 and an impressive 17.1% jump from $767,125 in September 2023. (It should be noted that there were two rural properties sell between 1.5million and 1.7million inflating the average selling price.) Despite this price surge, total sales for the month dropped to just 8, compared to 10 in August and 20 in September last year, highlighting the slower pace of transactions.
New listings, however, increased to 52, up from 30 in August and 33 in September 2023, contributing to the growing inventory. As a result, the months of inventory rose sharply to 11.25, moving the market further into buyers’ territory, giving purchasers more negotiating power as inventory swells and competition decreases.
A growing trend of price adjustments has become apparent. Many properties have had price changes or have been terminated and relisted at lower prices as sellers adjust to market realities. This trend is likely to persist, especially following the Federal Government’s recent announcement of changes to default mortgage insurance, raising the minimum value to $1.5 million and extending the 30-year amortization option to first-time homebuyers, effective December 15.

Durham Region Full Report
In September 2024, the real estate market in Durham Region saw a continued softening in both prices and sales. The average sales price for the month dropped to $894,499, reflecting a 1.5% decline from August’s $907,997 and a 1.4% decrease compared to $907,359 in September 2023. This marks a steady downward trend as buyers face ongoing affordability challenges. Total sales for the month came in at 672, down from 709 in August but slightly above the 653 sales recorded in September last year, showing a relatively stable, yet slower pace of transactions.
Meanwhile, new listings surged to 1,964, up significantly from 1,605 in August and higher than the 1,727 new listings in September 2023. This increase in inventory is giving buyers more options, which is likely contributing to the cooling of prices. The months of inventory rose to 3.56, up from 3.10 in August, indicating a gradual shift into a balanced market as inventory levels rise and competition among buyers eases.
A growing trend of price adjustments has become apparent. Many properties have had price changes or have been terminated and relisted at lower prices as sellers adjust to market realities. This trend is likely to persist, especially following the Federal Government’s recent announcement of changes to default mortgage insurance, raising the minimum value to $1.5 million and extending the 30-year amortization option to first-time homebuyers, effective December 15.

Dr. Walter Shier’s House
Dr. Walter Shier’s House
Main Street South
– Circa 1890 –
Dr. Walter Shier’s house is a notable historic home in Uxbridge with a fascinating backstory. In 1908, Dr. Shier purchased the house along with two additional lots near the Music Hall, setting the stage for his contributions to the community. He added a north-side office to the home and updated its amenities, reflecting his status as a well-regarded local physician.
Behind the house stood a small barn, where Dr. Shier kept his horse, buggy, and cutter—tools of the trade in an era when house calls were common. Dr. Shier’s journey to becoming a prominent medical figure started in education, where he first taught school before entering the medical profession. From 1907 to 1916, he had a general practice in Uxbridge, and during that time, he also held the position of Ontario County coroner from 1908 to 1944.
Beyond his general practice, Dr. Shier was also the surgeon for the Grand Trunk Railroad and C.N.R. from 1907 to 1944. In 1916, he shifted his focus to eye, ear, nose, and throat consultations as well as anesthetics. His involvement in the community extended beyond medicine; he was a member of the Uxbridge town council, showcasing his deep ties to the town’s development.
This home, both a residence and a place of medical practice, stands as a piece of Uxbridge’s rich history and reflects the life of a man who served his community in various capacities for many decades.
