- Jaws will drop when your friends see your new castle, an awe-inspiring triple brick 2,052 square foot home.
- Built in 1870 for Mr. A. L. Smith, on the south west corner of Hotel and Ann Streets (now known as Victoria Avenue)
- Mr. Smith ran a tinsmithing and stove-dealing business.
- The builder was Mr. James Johnson, the carpenter was Mr. Maclean.
- The home was sold to John Stratton Wardner family in 1938.
- It remained in their possession for 60 years, most notably to their daughter Muriel Andrews, a well known Belleville artist and art teacher.

- Bright and beautiful living room with original working sliding pocket doors
- Incredible dining room with vaulted oval ceiling with custom paint
- The large kitchen features antique washed cabinets imported from Italy, ceramic tile backsplash and slate floors

- All of the wiring is built in. Even the speaker is built right into the wall.
- Dramatic double doors lead to a beautiful modern bath with soaker tub, corner shower and double vanity raised sinks.
- The second level landing floors are ceramic tile; the flooring and walls in the bath are as well
- A second bedroom is steeped in drama with a rounded faux animal print half moon carpeted step down to a sunken room with a vaulted ceiling, 2 skylights, custom canopy and built-in night stands with gold gilt paint detail
- There are 6” studs lining the brick and insolated and fire proof with R30 Roxul stone wool batting, bringing house R value to about 2 times higher than any custom built house.
