Haun-Kenney House
Built in 1860 for Amos Lee Haun, this two-storey Italianate brick house displays many features typical of the style, including its cube shape, hipped roof, deeply projecting eaves, and grouped pendant brackets.
An oriel window graces the west side, and Classical wooden pediments cap the double-hung windows and wide-panelled oak front door. Decorative coloured glass in the east bay window suggests Queen Anne's influence.
A two-storey brick addition has similar Italianate details. Interior oak and paint-grained woodwork, the staircase, and hardwood flooring laid in concentric patterns date to the construction of the house. The woodwork in the addition dates to the late 19th century, while upstairs, an early 20th-century bath retains its original tile, stained glass, and pedestal sink. A chandelier in the upper front hall originally hung in the Morwood house on Young Street.
