LAWSON HOUSE

Lawson House, built in 1898 just after the Great Fire, is one of only two buildings in Windsor designed by prominent Maritime architect, William Critchlow Harris. It is of special interest because it is one of the first buildings in which Harris incorporated round towers with conical roofs, a feature which later became a trademark of his work. The house is also significant in Windsor’s history because of its association with former owner H.B. Tremain, Member of Parliament for Hants, and W. Medford Christie, a former Town solicitor.
