Historic Bovaird House has a new neighbour. On Sunday, July 1, the Pendergast Log House celebrated its opening in Brampton.

Built in the mid-1800s, the house was recently refurbished and moved to its new location. It was previously located on the Pendergast Farm near McVean Drive and Countryside and is one of the last known surviving log houses in the city. The house was clad in brick in the 1920s, and that helped protect it for almost a century.

At its new location, the Pendergast Log House will be appropriately integrated and programmed for long term reuse for the public.

The City of Brampton, property owners Hayford Holdings Inc. (Royal Pine Homes) and the Friends of Historic Bovaird House, will work together over the next several month to complete the restoration of the log house.
