A PIECE OF SARNIA HISTORY
The Froome Talfourd Cottage is officially recognized by the City of Sarnia as a heritage property. The City describes it as one of the oldest structures in Sarnia and notes that it was one of the first cottages to be moved intact to new locations within the city.
There is sometimes a misconception that heritage designation means you cannot make changes to the home. That isn't the case. Designation provides protection for identified heritage designated homes.
The designation also provides access to Sarnia's heritage property tax rebate program for eligible properties, which can provide a financial benefit to the owner.

The Talfourd Cottage is charming, unusual and filled with history — while still offering practical features for today's homeowner.
If you're looking for something truly different, this may be it.
