2. Ontario Cottage: From Wikipedia - “The Ontario Cottage is a style of house that was commonly built in 19th century Ontario, Canada. The Ontario cottage became popular in the 1820s and remained a common style until the end of that century. They were mainly built in rural and small town areas, less so in larger cities. This was the period in which European settlers first populated the interior of the province, and throughout it Ontario Cottages are some of the oldest houses. ...(they were) efficient and easy to build for settlers with limited resources...”
According to Ontario Architecture, “The Ontario Cottage is the vernacular design of the Regency Cottage which generally has a more ornate doorway and a partial or full verandah surrounding it.” The article goes on to say, “[I]n 1864 the Canada Farmer newspaper promoted the Small Gothic Cottage which was more along the lines of an Ontario Cottage with a hip roof and only one story. Later in the same year, Canada Farmer came out with plans for "A Cheap Farm House". This is the design that became known as the Gothic Revival Cottage.”
