152 Main Street North
Dr. Wesley Robinson graduated in medicine from McGill College in Montreal in 1872. Shortly thereafter, this Ontario Vernacular home was built for him. The door on the second floor is known as a suicide or mother-in-law door. These doors were often included to indicate to the tax collector that a balcony was yet to be added, placing the house in the unfinished category and exempting the owner from paying taxes. In this case, the absence of a balcony likely indicates unfinished business. A plaque commemorating Dr. RobinsonÕs distinguished work for the C.N.I.B. has been mounted on the building.
