Leslie Log House

The Leslie Log House is the most fascinating piece of architecture in Mississauga. Located on Dundas Street South just north of Dixie Road, the log house was built back in 1875 for George Leslie and his wife Anna. They lived there until about 1910 when they moved to Newmarket to live with his father-in-law John Hindsley. The house remained vacant for a few years before being purchased in 1925 by a local real estate agent named William Ross Taylor who planned on rehabbing it as a private residence. However, Mr. Taylor never ended up doing so due to financial difficulties and the fact that he ended up selling it again six years later to Thomas Brown who used it as an apartment building called The Leslie Apartments. You can visit this amazing destination at 4415 Mississauga Rd, Mississauga, ON L5M 3G8.

 

The Leslie Log House is the oldest log house in Mississauga and is among the oldest in Ontario. The Leslie Log House is one of the few remaining log houses still standing in the city of Toronto. The sloping roof of the house is unusual because of its size and the fact that it is covered in cedar shingles. The house is a designated heritage property and is listed as a heritage site by the City of Mississauga. The Leslie Log House is located at the end of a residential street on Dundas Street South. The Leslie Log House is open to the public for visits on weekends, holidays and between April and October.

In 1910, the Leslies moved to Newmarket to live with John and Mary Hindsley. George Leslie died in 1914, and Anna died in 1924. In 1925, William Ross Taylor bought the house and planned to convert it into a private residence, but he was unsuccessful.
