The Davidson House

– 1866 –

203 Brock Street W, Uxbridge

The Davidson House, designed and built by architect, Johnston Brown and stands as a testament to Uxbridge’s rich architectural and industrial heritage. Acquired in 1869 by Benjamin Davidson and his wife Elizabeth, this historic home remained in the Davidson family until 1918.

In 1873, Benjamin Davidson expanded his entrepreneurial ventures by building a fanning mill factory just east of the house, contributing significantly to Uxbridge’s industrial growth. Alongside his factory, Davidson cultivated bees, with beehive boxes dotting the property for many years, highlighting his commitment to agricultural sustainability.

Today, the Davidson House serves as a cherished piece of Uxbridge’s history, reflecting the architectural style of Johnston Brown and the industrious spirit of the Davidson family. This historic home is a symbol of the town’s enduring charm and community spirit, reminding us of the innovative and resilient people who shaped Uxbridge’s past.

By preserving such historic treasures, we honor the legacy of those who came before us and ensure that the rich tapestry of our history remains vibrant for future generations.
