Barrie, Municipal Clerk SCHEDULE 'A' TO BY-LAW 2005- This fieldstone three bay by two bay farmhouse was constructed for the Cole family in approximately 1855. It is one of three similar stone houses that were located along Acres Road. The house sat on a 100-acre lot on 5690 Acres Road which had been owned by James Bates. James bequeathed the property to his wife Elizabeth and their children on July 19th, 1832. Charles Bates, possibly the son of James and Elizabeth, became the owner of the lands by 1845. Charlesville, which is now called Haydon, was called such in honour of Charles Bates as he built a mill there that encouraged settlement. Charles Bates sold the property to Roger Cole, who is reputed to have donated the funds to build an Anglican Church in Bowmanville. When Roger died in 1861 his son John Cole became the owner. In 1886 John willed the property to his son John R.R. Cole. The property remained in the Cole family until 1962. The Ministry of Transportation is the current owner of 5690 Acres Road and the fieldstone farmhouse house was moved to 4675 Bethesda Road in 2004 to save it from demolition. The front and north side of the farmhouse was constructed of Ashlar cut stone, hammered into square and rectangle styles and set in a broken range. The stones range in colour from black to white to pink. The south wall is rubble hammered into a faced stone set in a random coarse pattern. The east wall is split rubble set in a random pattern. An enclosed frame porch covers approximately 30% of the front far;ade. Approximately 60% of the east wall is covered by a frame addition and there is also evidence of previous addition.
