Glengarry Routes - Stop 62

LeClair Mansion
4792 2nd Line Road, North Lancaster
Built in the 1880s by Alexander LeClair, son of Glengarry's most successful French Canadian merchant and entrepreneur, Charles LeClair who was also postmaster, Justice of the Peace, and militia officer. For two generations, father and son ran diverse businesses here including an ashery, a general store, a hotel, tenant houses and money lending.
This Second Empire Revival style mansion stands testament to Glengarry's many French Canadian entrepreneurial families.
West of the hamlet, a pioneer cemetery features grave stones of many of the early North Lancaster settlers.
Glad it is still being lived in
