WHEREAS "The John Cobbledick House", located at R.R. #1, Orono, Lot
27, Concession 5, former Township of Clarke, has a very significant
architectural value of interest to the Town of Newcastle and its
people in that it dates from c. 1865 and is a fine representative
example of a fieldstone farmhouse typical of many of those built
in Clarke and Darlington Townships between 1850 and 1870. The
design of this 1-1/2 storey house, with its three bay wide
symmetrical facade, is based on the Georgian tradition, however,
its eaves, returns and beautifully moulded cornices are examples
of detailing in the Greek Revival style. The front of the house
is laid in random coursed fieldstone and the sides and rear wall
are in rubble fieldstone. The front entrance is surrounded by a
rectangular transom and sidelights and all of the windows are
finished with stone voussoirs. Features of particular note are as
follows: the interesting combination of coursed and rubble
fieldstone construction making it a good example of the stone
masonry of this Township in the mid 19th century; the front wall
of the house retains much of the original beaded mortar; the
detailing of the cornices and of the returns in the gable ends of
the house is particularly well executed; and the front entrance
retains its original pilasters and moulded entablature; and
