Erb-Kumpf House, Heritage property in Waterloo, Canada

The two-story residence at 172 King Street South features Georgian windows, a Regency facade, Gothic bargeboard, and white Doric columns.

Abraham Erb, who arrived from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1806, constructed the initial section of this house near his sawmill in 1812.

The residence changed ownership through generations of influential families, including the Erbs, Devitts, Sniders, and Kumpfs, who shaped Waterloo's development.

The building currently functions as a law office, maintaining its external historical characteristics while adapting to modern commercial requirements.

Christian Kumpf, who purchased the house in 1869, served as Waterloo's postmaster for 42 years while owning the local Waterloo Chronicle newspaper.
