Two storey red brick Colonial Revival style building is accentuated by the rounded center porch, with cornice details such as dentils, and rounded porch columns with decorative capital. The front door also features multiple sidelights and the windows feature shutters. Wide eave overhangs with decorative rafters surround the perimeter of the roofline as well as the hipper dormer. Two corbelled chimneys are located close to each side of the house. A rounded corniced “bay window” is also located on the north end. The porch wing on the south end has been enclosed. The fine home was featured as one of the beautiful homes in the town of Sandwich in The Border Cities Star news article. John Stuart, chairman of the board of J.T. Wing Ltd (a hardware retailer and distributor for industrial supplies and contractors equipment), bought the lot in 1919. 3 He and his wife, Mary, were long-time owners of the property, until the ownership was changed to the University of Windsor in 1964, and has since become the residence of serving Presidents of the University.
