  • Regency style stone home circa 1859 in Belleville’s Old East Hill
  • This beautiful home is among the very few stone houses in Belleville
  • The area was known at that time as Meyer’s Hill. Three years later it was changed to Meyers’ Terrace
  • This home was built by the Scottish carpenter Thomas Rutherford. His wife was Captain John Meyer’s daughter, Susan
  • Meyers is considered to be the founder of Belleville
  • It was described in the Hastings Chronicle on Wednesday, July 13 1859 page 2 col 7, Building Operations in Belleville, Mr. Thos. Rutherford has just completed a stone building on Meyers’ Hill. It is a neat structure with cottage roof and is occupied by the Rev. Mr. McLaren. Its cost we have not learned.”
  • According to the 1861 census for Belleville Rev. N. McLaren and family: Marjorie age 27, Jane age 4, Elisah age 2, Jane Agnus a servant from Ireland age 35 all residing in the stone house. Thomas Rutherford and family are also living here. Knowing how important his faith is to him, I expect Rev. McLaren is living in the main block of the house and the Rutherfords are in the large wing. Thomas and Susan have 5 children.
  • Thomas Rutherford died in 1900. He lived in Belleville for 55 years. The house remained in the family for many more years.
