Duff Baby House, Georgian house in Sandwich district, Windsor, Canada
The Duff Baby House stands at 221 Mill Street, featuring timber wall framing with brick infill and a steeply pitched roof with dormers.
Alexander Duff constructed this residence in 1798 as a fur trading post, and James Baby acquired it in 1807 during the region's early settlement period.
The house contains archaeological discoveries that reveal details about early Canadian settlement patterns and architectural evolution through different time periods.
Visitors can explore the house museum on specific Saturdays each month from noon to 4 p.m., with guided tours available through Museum Windsor.
The property includes remnants of a Jesuit pear grove and maintains its original orientation to the Detroit River since the 18th century.
