Osterhout Log Cabin, Historical log cabin in Guildwood Park, Scarborough, Canada
The square-timbered Osterhout Log Cabin features traditional construction methods with hand-hewn timber and stands along the Scarborough Bluffs lakeside location.
William Osterhout, a United Empire Loyalist, received the first Crown land grant from King George III in 1805 for his service with Butler's Rangers.
The cabin represents early Canadian settler architecture and provides educational insights into the challenges faced by pioneers during the settlement period.
The building remains accessible within Guild Park and Gardens, offering visitors a chance to explore one of the oldest structures in Toronto.
Archaeological excavations in 1996 indicated James Humphreys likely constructed the cabin after 1845, with his family becoming the first documented residents.
