Mansion House Hotel
Lost Landmark: The Remarkable Story of the Mansion House in Uxbridge
Photo Courtesy of Uxbridge The Good Old Days by: by J. Peter Hvidsten (Martin’s Hotel, IGA)
A Proud Beginning: Joseph Gould’s Vision in 1871
In the heart of Uxbridge, at the prominent corner of Brock Street and Toronto Street, stood a symbol of civic pride and Victorian charm—the Mansion House Hotel. Built in 1871 by Joseph Gould, one of Uxbridge’s most respected and influential figures, this red-brick, three-storey building quickly became a focal point of community life.
The Mansion House Hotel was designed by Architect John T. Stokes of Sharon, a skilled designer who had earlier crafted Joseph Gould’s own home on Toronto Street. Stokes’ architectural influence extended beyond private homes—he was likely also responsible for designing the local Uxbridge library, showcasing his deep involvement in shaping the town’s architectural landscape.
Joseph Gould wasn’t just any local. He was a visionary landowner and public servant who saw Uxbridge as a growing hub of commerce and connection. With that in mind, he commissioned the Mansion House to serve both as a place of lodging and a center for social gatherings.
The above photo courtesy of Uxbridge – The First 100 Years 1800-1900 by: J. Peter Hvidsten shows the Mansion House circa 1914.
Architectural Highlights of the Mansion House
Though modest in style, the Mansion House had several notable architectural features that made it stand out:
-
Three-storey red brick construction, typical of 19th-century Ontario towns.
-
Main entrance on Brock Street, welcoming travelers and locals alike.
-
Second-floor balconies on both the east and north sides, offering views of bustling town life.
-
A distinctive third-floor portico on the north side, adding a touch of grandeur.
-
To the west of the entrance, a discreet alleyway led to the back of the hotel where stables and storage sheds awaited guests traveling by horse.
This clever layout accommodated not only visitors staying overnight but also those arriving for banquets, political events, or a quick stop in town.
Growth and Expansion in the Late 1800s
As Uxbridge grew, so did the Mansion House. In the late 1800s, the hotel underwent renovations and expansions, growing to offer 70 guest rooms. These updates didn’t just make it larger—they made it more central to town life.
Even though Joseph Gould retained ownership, the building was frequently leased to various operators, reflecting its role as a practical and profitable enterprise.
A Hub for Gatherings and Politics
From the late 1800s into the early 20th century, the Mansion House was more than just a hotel. It served as a lively social hub where Uxbridge’s residents came together for:
-
Banquets and formal dinners
-
Family celebrations and dances
-
Political meetings and community planning sessions
At a time when newspapers and face-to-face meetings were the main forms of communication, spaces like the Mansion House played a vital role in shaping community identity and local governance.
Martin’s Hotel Era: 1930 Onward
In 1930, a new chapter began when Jim and Jean Martin purchased the building. They continued to run it as a hotel, and under their stewardship, it became affectionately known as Martin’s Hotel. The name change reflected both a new era and a continuation of its tradition as a place of welcome and warmth.
The End of an Era: Demolition in 1963
As time moved on, so did the needs of the community. In 1963, the Mansion House was demolished to make room for a modern, one-storey commercial building.
While its loss was felt by many, the new building soon found new life. In 1964, it became home to an IGA grocery store, operated by John and Evelyn Hockley. This marked another generational shift, from communal gatherings to daily commerce—a symbol of how towns evolve.
Here in this photo courtesy of Uxbridge The Good Old Days by: by J. Peter Hvidsten taken in November 1963 you can see the hotel being torn down.

Remembering the Mansion House Today
Though the Mansion House no longer stands, its legacy lives on in the memories of older residents, family photographs, and the stories passed down through generations. It reminds us of a time when hotels were more than places to sleep—they were the heart of a town.
Whether you walked through the front doors on Brock Street, tied your horse in the alleyway, or attended a community banquet under its roof, the Mansion House was a place where life happened.

History Of Trinity United Church Uxbridge
The congregation of the Methodist Church was founded in 1858. On July 21, 1888 the corner stone of the Methodist Church was laid in a ceremony by Mrs. Hon. John A. Macdonald and Mr. Wm. Gooderham. The church built on First Avenue on a piece of property donated by John Plank was opened in February 1889. In 1925 the church became a member of the United Church of Canada, creating Trinity United Church Uxbridge
The bell in the tower was ordered from McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore and was the heaviest bell in town, weighing 1200 pounds or 550 kilos.

Palmer Piano Factory
Echoes of Industry
The Palmer Piano Factory and Gold Medal Radio & Phonograph Company in Uxbridge
Tucked in the industrial memory of Uxbridge lies the fascinating story of a once-grand building that served multiple roles through the early 20th century. What began as a promising piano factory would become a hub for furniture, radios, phonographs—and ultimately, a tragic reminder of Uxbridge’s ever-changing landscape.
According to Tales From The Uxbridge Valley by Alan McGillivray, the story begins in 1907 with a devastating fire that destroyed the Uxbridge Piano and Organ Company. Seizing the opportunity to continue local manufacturing, the Palmer Piano Company constructed a massive new factory by the railway tracks, just south of where the Co-op once stood. While the facility held great promise, Palmer Piano’s operations were short-lived.
Above is a post card showing the Palmer Piano Co building in Uxbridge.
The above photo taken from “Downright Upright A History of the Canadian Piano Industry” by Wayne Kelly shows the Palmer Piano Factory located beside the train tracks, just south of where the Co-op was located.
By 1912, a new chapter began when the Gold Medal Furniture Company took over the factory. Quickly employing a staff of ninety, the company outfitted the plant with modern woodworking machinery and began making a name for itself in local manufacturing circles. But progress didn’t stop there.
In 1922, responding to the booming popularity of home audio entertainment, the company rebranded as the Gold Medal Radio & Phonograph Company. It specialized in producing Quadradyne Radios and Gold Medal Phonographs, aligning with the technological enthusiasm of the Roaring Twenties. These products brought music into homes across the region, further establishing Uxbridge as a center of innovation and craftsmanship.
However, by 1926, production came to a halt, and the factory sat silent for years—until it was repurposed again during World War II.
The map below is a section from the Uxbridge Insurance plan drawings from 1910 showing the corner of Brock St and Victoria Ave.
Map showing the location of the Palmer Piano Co building in Uxbridge.
In 1942, Textile Dyers and Finishers of Toronto relocated to the site, having moved from the old McGuire piano factory on Franklin Street. The new site offered ample space and infrastructure, but the revival was tragically short-lived. In 1944, fire struck again, and the entire building was destroyed.
For years, remnants of the factory lingered—its brick foundations and a solitary boiler chimney hidden in the forest at the end of Collins Street. These silent remains stood as a ghostly reminder of Uxbridge’s industrious past before finally giving way to residential development.
Today, nothing remains of the Palmer Piano Factory or the Gold Medal Radio & Phonograph Company, but their stories live on. They speak to Uxbridge’s resilience, its creative energy, and its ability to adapt through the ages—from the musical tones of pianos and phonographs to the hum of wartime industry.

The Uxbridge Municipal Office
A Look Back at the Uxbridge Municipal Office
Located at 51 Toronto Street South, right in the heart of Uxbridge, the current Uxbridge Municipal Office is a building that carries with it a rich history of education, architecture, and civic pride.
From Schoolhouse to Town Hall
The building we know today as the municipal office was originally constructed in 1958 as St. Joseph’s Separate School, serving generations of local students. As Uxbridge grew, so did the school population, and in 1990, St. Joseph’s relocated to its new home on Quaker Village Drive. With the school vacated, the building was given a second life.
Extensive renovations and a thoughtfully designed addition transformed the old school into the beautiful Town Hall we see today. The redesign preserved elements of the past while making room for a modern municipal facility to serve the community’s needs.
.
The above photo courtesy of the Uxbridge Times-Journal taken in 1961 shows the newly constructed St Joseph’s Separate School.
Honouring Joseph Gould
The original school playground, located to the north of the school, is now the location of the council chambers. Before becoming part of the school grounds in the early 1960s, this land was the site of the stately home of Joseph Gould, a significant figure in Uxbridge’s early development. The home was demolished in 1961–62 to make room for the growing needs of St. Joseph’s School.
Read about the Home of Joseph Gould in our blog.

An Artistic Landscape
Over the years, the grounds surrounding the Uxbridge Municipal Office have seen extensive landscaping, including lush greenery, seasonal plantings, and a rotating display of sculptures by local artists. These public art installations add character and charm, creating a welcoming space for residents and visitors alike.
Past Homes of Uxbridge Council
Before settling at 51 Toronto Street South, the Township of Uxbridge’s administrative offices had several other homes:
-
20 Bascom Street: After the Times Journal newspaper moved out in 1975, the township took over the building. The main level housed the township offices, while the lower level became home to the local police department.
-
12 Spruce Street: Prior to Bascom Street, the municipal offices were located at this address, though few traces of that era remain today.
-
Market Hall: In the late 1800s, council meetings were held on the upper level of the Market Hall, a prominent building that once stood at the northeast corner of Brock Street and Toronto Street—a location central to Uxbridge’s early civic life.
A Living Piece of Uxbridge History
Today, the Uxbridge Municipal Office stands as more than just an administrative building. It’s a place where history, community, and civic engagement come together. From its origins as a school to its transformation into Town Hall, and with roots reaching back to prominent residents like Joseph Gould, this building reflects the spirit and evolution of Uxbridge itself.

Quaker Meeting House
Uxbridge’s Oldest Treasure
Discover the Historic Quaker Meeting House on Quaker Hill
Nestled high atop Quaker Hill, overlooking the tranquil town of Uxbridge, Ontario, stands a humble yet historically rich structure—the Uxbridge Quaker Meeting House. Known as the oldest building in Uxbridge Township, this timeless site embodies over two centuries of quiet devotion, community, and architectural heritage.
Quaker Meeting House – Front
A Glimpse Back in Time: Built in 1820
Constructed in 1820, the current Meeting House replaced an even earlier building from 1809. Its modest, board-and-batten exterior belies the significant role it has played in local religious and community life for more than 200 years.
The Meeting House reflects the values of the Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends—simplicity, peace, integrity, and community. Sitting serenely on Quaker Hill, the building commands a peaceful view of the town from the west, offering a literal and symbolic perspective of mindfulness and reflection.
Architectural Simplicity with Stories Etched in Timber
The Meeting House was designed with functional and symbolic symmetry. Originally, a central interior partition separated the men’s and women’s sides during worship, reflecting Quaker customs of the era. However, around 1881, the partition was moved to one end to create space for a small Sunday School. During that renovation, the west door and a south wall window were switched—an adjustment that disrupted the building’s architectural symmetry but added a new chapter to its evolving story.
Inside, the details speak to the thoughtful consideration given to its congregants. The hand-hewn pine pews are unique—some open-backed to accommodate the women’s bustles of the time, others closed-backed for men. A centrally-hung brass lamp once provided the main source of lighting, complemented by smaller coal lamps along the perimeter. In the centre of the room stood a wood stove to provide heat, though it has since been removed.

Preservation Through the Years
Preserving history requires both care and commitment. In 1995, the Meeting House was gently raised, and a concrete block foundation was installed to stabilize and support the structure for future generations. Thanks to community support and dedicated volunteers, it remains a well-preserved artifact of Ontario’s early settler history.
An Invitation to Remember and Celebrate
Each year, the Annual Remembrance Service is held on the second Sunday in June at 2:30 p.m. All are welcome to join this special event that honours the spiritual and cultural legacy of the Uxbridge Quaker community.
For those seeking a unique and deeply meaningful location for a wedding, the Meeting House also offers a serene setting steeped in history. While amenities are primitive—no hydro or running water—the spirit of the place is profoundly special. There’s no fee, but couples often leave a generous donation toward the upkeep of this treasured space.

Robert Mooney Residence

Robert Mooney Residence – 122 Brock Street East (c.1874)
The Historic Robert Mooney Residence: A Testament to Gothic Revival Architecture
Nestled in the heart of our town, the Robert Mooney Residence stands as a stunning testament to 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture. This historic house, originally owned by Robert Mooney, a prominent local merchant, and his wife Elizabeth, captures the essence of an era where craftsmanship and elegance were paramount. Built by local homebuilder and architect Johnston Brown under the meticulous direction of Mr. Mooney, the residence is a cherished landmark that continues to captivate both residents and visitors alike.
Architectural Details and Design
The Robert Mooney Residence is a one-and-a-half-story, “T” shaped red brick house that rests gracefully on a robust stone foundation. The use of white brick to accentuate the windows and quoins adds a touch of sophistication and highlights the intricate masonry work that was prevalent during the period. This combination of red and white brick not only enhances the visual appeal of the house but also reflects the architectural trends of the time.
One of the most striking features of the residence is the north gable, which boasts a Gothic-style door that opens onto a beautifully adorned verandah. The verandah itself is a masterpiece, featuring carved brackets and entablature that showcase the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into its construction. These elements not only provide structural support but also add a decorative flair that is characteristic of Gothic Revival architecture.
Distinctive Gables and Windows
The house is adorned with gables on the east, west, and south sides, each contributing to the building’s unique aesthetic. Unlike many Gothic Revival structures, the gables of the Robert Mooney Residence are free from bargeboards and finials, giving it a more streamlined appearance. Despite this simplicity, the design remains elegant and timeless.
The small west gable is particularly noteworthy for its Gothic window, a feature that adds both charm and character to the residence. This window, with its pointed arch and intricate tracery, is a hallmark of Gothic design and allows natural light to flood the interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The West Side Sun Porch
Adding to the charm of the Robert Mooney Residence is the sun porch located on the west side of the house. This delightful space offers a perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape while being sheltered from the elements. The sun porch is an ideal place for relaxation and contemplation, embodying the harmonious blend of form and function that defines the entire residence.
Legacy and Preservation
The Robert Mooney Residence is more than just a house; it is a piece of our town’s history. The careful preservation of its architectural features allows us to appreciate the artistry and vision of its original builders. As we walk through its halls and admire its Gothic windows and verandah, we are transported back to a time when attention to detail and craftsmanship were paramount.
Today, the Robert Mooney Residence stands as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and the enduring legacy of those who came before us. It is a symbol of pride for our community and a testament to the timeless beauty of Gothic Revival architecture.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or simply a lover of beautiful homes, the Robert Mooney Residence offers a glimpse into a bygone era and continues to inspire admiration and wonder.

Who remembers the drinking fountain at Elgin Pond?
Located at the corner of Main St S and Mill St is the spring fed water trough. Kids used to lay down in the trough to get soaked by the cold spring water and then jump into the pond, making the pond water feel warmer.
As kids we used to drink out of it all of the time. If you cup your hand over the spout water shoots out the hole on top like a drinking fountain.
