If these walls could talk, they’d tell a story of craftsmanship, community, and over 147 years of Peterborough history. 🏛️📜
Long before it became the Bridge to Wellness Centre, 64 Hunter St. West was (and still is) a designated heritage landmark known as the Nesbitt-Davidson House. Built in 1879, its story begins at the northern edge of what was once known as “Church Row.”
• The Architecture 🧱
Designed by John Belcher—the prolific architect and City Engineer who shaped much of Peterborough’s early skyline—this home is a beautiful example of late 19th-century design. From the distinctive two-storey bay windows that flood our treatment rooms with light, to the original buff brick and decorative stonework, every detail was built to last.
• The Residents 🗝️
The land was originally owned by Walter Sheridan, the first clerk of Peterborough County. Over the decades, it has housed notable figures like Archdeacon John C. Davidson and served as the longtime home of the L**h family (of William L**h and Sons Furriers) for nearly 86 years!
