Historical Notes
TIMOTHY HIXON AND HIS BROTHERS PRODUCED BRICKS IN A YARD IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THE HOUSE; THESE WERE SHIPPED ALONG THE RIVER TO CHIPPAWA OR PORT ROBINSON. THE HOUSE HAS BEEN IN THE LAMBERT FAMILY SINCE 1903. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ANOTHER HOUSE LOCATED AT 9037 CHIPPAWA CREEK RD WHICH HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED. THIS HOUSE WOULD HAVE BELONGED TO A MISS MARIE HIXON (PERHAPS A SISTER OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER) A PORTION OF THAT HOUSE WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN BUILT BEFORE 1812.
Architectural Notes
THE MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN THE PICTURESQUE GOTHIC STYLE, PERHAPS AS EARLY AS 1833. IT HAS DOUBLE BRICK WALLS, A STEEPLY PITCHED CENTRAL GABLE AND A FRONT PORCH WITH DECORATIVE SCROLLING. A KITCHEN WING ON THE WEST SIDE WAS BUILT OF BRICK IN 1937 AND HAS SINCE BEEN COVERED WITH VINYL SIDING.
