The real estate market in the Township of Scugog has shown resilience and balance throughout 2023. Monthly sales prices have experienced fluctuations, with a notable increase in April and May, reaching just over a million dollars, followed by a slight drop in June and a subsequent rise to $1,140,500 in September from $946,667 in January. Active listings have steadily increased, expanding from 36 in January to 66 in September, offering a broader range of choices for potential buyers. Days on the market, which were at 38 in January, increased to 56 in March and gradually declined over the summer. While they experienced a slight increase in August and September, they now stand at 34 days, showcasing the ebb and flow of the market. There were 9 sales in January, and the number of sales increased from January to the peak in May, although it has declined since then to 21 in September. This trend signifies a balanced market, as while the number of sales has dropped, there hasn’t been a dramatic decrease in sales prices. Scugog remains an attractive market for those looking to buy or sell property.

In 1884 the bell tower was constructed as a Firehall and alarm bell. The bell for the tower (seen below) was made in New York and installed in the tower in 1887. The Joseph Goulds Mechanics Institute (Uxbridge Public Library) constructed in 1887 was to house the new bell in the clock tower, however when it was delivered it was feared to be too heavy and thought when rung would reduce the Institute to a pile of rubble. The bell was then installed in the recently built bell tower and was connected by cables to the library bell tower to chime out the hours for the town to hear.

The bell tower had double duty. It ran in the hours of the day and was also the alarm incase of fire. There was a small door door at the base of the tower that someone could open and ring the bell. The bell tower was sold to Miles Houck after serving the residents of Uxbridge for more than 65 years. Mr. Houck who ran a garage south of the tower offered the tower for sale if anyone would remove it and restore it. Since no one was interested on purchasing the tower in October 1954 it was demolished. The bell after being stored for a number of years was placed on display in front of the old firehall on Bascom Street and is now on display in the tower at the new firehall on Brock Street. (see below).

The above photo shows the Bell Tower located behind the Joseph Goulds Mechanic Institute in the late 1800s.

You can see the Kiln, which is still standing today, to the left of the mill in the above photo. Photo from: Uxbridge The First 100 Years by: J. Peter Hvidsten.
The Isaac J. Gould Oatmeal Kiln was used to power the Oatmeal Mill that was built by Isaac J. Gould on the north shore of Elgin Pond (then known as Park Pond). You can see the Kiln, which is still standing today, to the left of the mill in the above photo. The mill was built in 1887 on the former site or Joseph Gould’s woollen and saw mill which was destroyed by fire 1886. The mill was briefly operated as a woollen and saw mill before it was converted to grind oats. In the mid 1950s the mill was condemned and collapsed in 1957.
The following two photos show the Kiln as it appears today. It has been converted to a home.

70 Main Street – Circa 1872
Tucked along the historic stretch of Main Street North in Uxbridge sits a home that reflects the early civic and residential development of the town—the Bascom–Williams House, a structure rooted in both family legacy and community service.
Built circa 1872, the home began its life as a modest square-frame residence before being bricked and later undergoing a series of architectural changes over the years. While the house has evolved in appearance, its story remains closely tied to one of Uxbridge’s foundational families.

The land on which the house stands was once part of a significant tract owned by Dr. Joseph Bascom, a well-known figure in early Uxbridge. In the 1850s, Dr. Bascom owned all the land on the west side of Main Street, stretching between Brock Street and Mill Street. As the town grew, he subdivided this land into lots, shaping much of what we now recognize as central Uxbridge.
In 1872, Dr. Bascom transferred ownership of one of these lots to his daughter, Mary Bascom, and it is believed that the current house was constructed shortly thereafter. Mary married Alonzo D. Williams, a man who would leave a lasting mark on the town’s civic history.
Alonzo became the first clerk of the Village of Uxbridge, a role he would serve with dedication for 27 years until his passing in 1899. His long tenure speaks to a period of great change and formalization in Uxbridge’s governance, and it’s fitting that his home still stands as a quiet reminder of his commitment to public service.

Though the Bascom–Williams House has been altered over the decades, its foundations are steeped in the early development of Uxbridge—both in its physical landscape and its local leadership. Homes like this serve as more than just dwellings; they are the living memory of the town’s roots and growth.

Robert H. Perry Residence – 2022
According to Uxbridge – Scugog Historic Homes and Heritage Buildings, this fieldstone home (the only one built within the town limits) was built by Robert Perry after he purchased the lot from G.H. Thompson in 1920. Mr. Thompson operated a blacksmith shop on the property after he purchased it in 1904.
Robert Perry was the manager of the Gold Metal Furniture Company. The factory which was located behind the old co-op at the corner of Brock Street and Victoria Drive, which was destroyed by fire in 1944. Read about the Gold Metal Furniture Company
It is believed that the stone for the Robert H. Perry Residence was brought to town by rail and then delivered to the site by horse and wagon. The home features clear oak trim, floors, stairs and doors (including French doors and sliding doors). Some of the original features can still be found including some light fixtures, the door bell, a stained glass window and the oak front door. A couple of other interesting features still in the home are parts of the water system which was located in the attic and a cistern located under the back deck.
To honour his Irish decent Mr. Perry had a form of a shamrock placed in the stone wall facing Planks Lane. If you look closely at this wall you can also see the form of a person just below the shamrock.
The home has had very few owners since it was constructed by Mr Perry. The Perrys sold it to Gordon and Amanda McLean in 1923 who lived in the house until they sold it to its current owners in 1961.

This photo shows the shamrock in the north wall of the Robert H. Perry Residence.

Charles Gould Residence taken from the south east side around 1890. Photo courtesy of Uxbridge-Scugog Historic Homes by: Paul Arculus and J. Peter Hvidsten.
The Charles Gould Residence was originally a farm property, it was owned by Joseph Gould and was inherited by his son Charles in 1886. Charles and his brother Harvey ran the Gould Brothers Bank and the Gould Flour and Feed Store on Brock Street as well as the Uxbridge Roller Mills. While running many businesses in town he was also elected Reeve in 1884.
The farm was sold on 1914. A few years later Charles suffered a stroke and passed away on December 18, 1922.

The above photo is taken from the north east side of the property in 2021. Today the home is surrounded by a hedge making the property very secluded.
The house has an unusual coffin door, which opens onto the front verandah and allowed a coffin to be carried in and out of the house. It was a common practice years ago to have funerals and wakes in the home. It was constructed of yellow bricks similar to the Uxbridge Library (Joseph Gould Institute)
