An historic log cabin in Mississauga

From the doors and windows, it's a private residence? Do you know its history?

I was meaning to get a picture of this building some time, when the other day I saw this beautiful sunset. I was 5 minutes away but by the time I got there and setup I missed the best of it. You can still see the tail end of the sunset. I may try getting some indoor pictures some day and will post.

It's an historic building in Mississauga. Here is the info;

This white cedar log house was built by Robert Leslie in 1826 on Mississauga Road, north of Derry. In 1994 it was moved to its current location; the building is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The City of Mississauga is working in partnership with the Streetsville Historical Society to provide them with a new home in the Log House, with appropriate artifact and archival storage for their rich collection, as well as exhibit and meeting space. The Museums of Mississauga and the Friends of the Museums of Mississauga are also partners in this project, and will be developing educational programming and family activities based in the Leslie Log House. There is also consideration being given to an Urban Garden Project. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010 and is funded by the City of Mississauga and Infastructure Ontario Art funds.
