McGregor-Cowan House

« view all sites

The stately Georgian-style McGregor Cowan House, built c. 1805, is believed to be the second oldest building in Windsor (after the Duff-Baby Mansion built in 1798). The chimneys on either side of the roof ridge represent a French Canadian heating system unique to the area - each warming a separate half of the house.

Location: 3118 Sandwich Street
