Perth Manor Boutique Hotel & Reception Facility
Description
This fine home was constructed at a cost of 12,000 Pounds in 1878 by J.T. Henderson formerly of Belleville. It was originally referred to as "Thurreson Place" and served as a family home. J.T. Henderson was "trained in the law..."but instead opened a very successful mercantile house in Perth from which he sold various products such as dry goods, liquor, and steamer tickets. The house was later taken over by his daughter Jessie Mable.
Jessie Mable was married to John A. Stewart, a local man of considerable wealth and prominence in Perth. He practiced law and at various times was President of Wampole Co. Ltd., the Andrew Jergens’ Company Ltd., and the Perth Shoe Company. He was one of the partners in the McLaren Brewery and Distillery and local newspaper, The Perth Expositor.
J.A. Stewart was elected into the House of Commons in 1918 and served as Minister of Railways and Canals in the Meighen Administration; he was also Mayor of Perth for two terms. Mrs. Stewart had a park designed and constructed as a memorial to him. Beautiful Stewart Park is located on Haggart's Island on the site of the former McLaren Distillery, directly behind the Perth Town Hall on Gore Street.
