6. Mundie-Burns House, 1927 - C 326 Main street
The Colonial Revival style Mundie-Burns House is a one-and-a-half-story, three-bay frame house covered by a gambrel roof. Its symmetrically composed facade has a sl ightly proj ecting entrance vestibule and porch which are flankeq by tripartite double-hung windows. A shed dormer containing a trio of paired windows extends across most of the facade. There is a brick exterior end chimney on the north side and an asymmetrical fenestration pattern on both ends. A detached one-and-a-half story outbuilding with a gambrel roof stands to the southeast of the house. Both buildings are sheathed in weatherboards.
This house was built in 1927 for Dr. P. J. Mundie as a gift for his wife. It was purchased in 1952 by Mr. and Mrs. Barry Burns. The house has had extensive interior renovations and redecorating since that time. Mrs. Burns still owns this house which is well known for its magnificent gardens in summer.
