Description of Property The Frincis Pike House is a one and a half storey brick famhouse located on the north side of Highway 7, east of Ninth Line. The property is situated within the Comell community of the City of Markham. Historical or AssociatiYe value The Francis Pike House has histodcal and associative value as the former home of Francis Pike, the son of a U.S. army officer and possibly a nephew of Colonel Zpbulor Pike who was killed in action against the Towo of York du ng the war of 1812. Francis Pike emi$ated ftom Pennsylvania to Canada in 1824. He manied Elizabeth Stricld€r and established a farm at Dickson Hill. Like many other families that came to Markham from Pennsylvania, the Pikes were Mennonites. In later yean they moved to a 10 acre property east of Markham Village atrd built a brick famhouse that still stands at 7170 Highway 7. Design or Physical Value The [ouse at 7170 Highway ? is a representative example of a vernacular farmhouse of the 1870s, clad in pattemed brick and retaining its original hipped roof front veranda with slender square posts and fretwork brackets. Comer quoins, a brick fiieze on the ftont wall, and raised "eyebrow" arches over door and window openings are typical decorative brick alements of the period. The symmetry of the fagde ind form of the building are indicative of the persistence-of the design ilfluence ofthe Georgian architeclural uadition well inlo the 19"' c€ntury. Contextual Value The Fradcis Pike House is one of a group of heritage buildings that remain fiom the area's history as an agricultural community that existed between Markham Village and lhe hamlet of Ircust Hill until relatively recent times, when the area was traNformed from fannland into the New Urbaoism commuDity of Comell.
