Post Manor, built by ships' carpenters from Frenchman's Bay, is 56 ft. wide by 120 ft. deep. The beautiful stonework cost $700.00. The woodwork is beautifully paneled in pine and cedar, floors are pine. The walls of horsehair plaster, were whitewashed each year. The lovely colors on woodwork were turquoise, grey and pink, downstairs. Variously referred to from time to time during the last century as "The Old Post House" or "Post Manor", the lovely old field stone house, located at the corner of Brock Road and Kingston Road, was built by Jordan Post in 1851. (Ref: Charles Asa Post's letter, March 18, 1929) Jordan Post, the younger, was born in 1814, and built Post Manor at the relatively young age of 27. Matilda, his bride, was 21 at the time. The land, Lot 19, Con. 1, containing 200 acres, had been patented to the Honourable David William Smith, on July 16, 1799. Jordan established a sawmill on Duffin's Creek at the spot where the Brock Road crosses it. He enjoyed much prosperity, which included an active export business to the United States, particularly through the Oswego, N. Y. area. Jordan died on March 1,1860, at the age of 46. Matilda lived on until April 9, 1886, having been a resident in the house for 45 years. A tall granite obelisk marks the spot where Jordan and Matilda are buried in the old graveyard on the south side of Kingston Road opposite and within sight of the house which, together, they had built and loved. The property belonged in succession to Robert Deverell - 1908, Frederick Hurst, Marshall MacGregor & the Hettgers, On April 29, 1945, Mrs. MacGregor & Mrs. & Mr. Hettger, (Mr. MacGregor having died many years previously) sold the home and the remaining 15 acres to Mr. & Mr. K. H. J. Clarke, the present owners. The MacGregors and Hettgers had lived on the property for 19 years. In 1948, Mr. Clarke purchased 10 acres of land on the east side of Brock Road, opposite the original property, enlarging the estate to its present 25 acres. Mr. & Mrs. Clarke have stripped and restored the house and it is now as beautiful and solid as at the time it was built.
