Madison House, Heritage museum in Kincardine, Canada.
Madison House features a three-story mansion with tall windows, decorative brackets, cornices, and low-pitched roofs following Italianate architectural principles at 343 Durham Market North.
Thomas C. Rooklidge constructed Madison House in 1870, and John Gentles, a local liveryman and horse dealer, purchased the property in 1886.
The structure maintains its position as the second oldest standing building in Kincardine, representing the architectural preferences of Ontario's late 19th century society.
The 9,250-square-foot building currently contains residential apartments on upper floors, including a three-bedroom unit and two two-bedroom units for long-term accommodation.
The building received official heritage status on January 3, 1985, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, protecting its historical characteristics from alterations.
