CLOCKMAKER'S INN

Built by Rufus Curry in 1894. Rufus Curry moved to Windsor in 1888 from Avondale where he and his father built and operated a shipping fleet. He was one of the organizers of Wm. Curry & Sons which was a woodworking factory at Curry's Corner. He also helped in the establishment of the Windsor Electric Light Company. The Currys Corner area of Windsor is supposedly named for him. The house is an example of the Second Empire style with Queen Anne influences. It is a three storey dwelling of wood construction with a steeply pitched mansard roof with one central projecting tower. It has a symmetrical three bay facade with a centered doorway, numerous dormers with an overhanging gable roof with semi-circular windows and many decorative features.
