This historically designated “Late Georgian” house was built for Jonas Ramer who ran a sawmill and custom cider mill using damned water for power. In 1889, Jonas operated the “Springdale Mineral Baths” where the “afflicted” from all parts of Ontario and the U.S. could bathe in the water of “high mineral content”. This spa was in operation during the same period as the David Byer Cancer Institute at the block house at 300 Main Street, where a patented cure was used to remove tumors. In total, the Ramer family owned the property for 123 years spanning five generations.
