Description

HistoricPlaces.ca - HistoricPlaces.ca

The Betzner Farmstead, composed of a farmhouse, drive shed and cultural heritage landscape, is located at 437 Pioneer Tower Road, in the southeast end of the City of Kitchener. The two-storey farmhouse was designed in the Mennonite Georgian style by John Betzner, and the accessory drive shed was designed in the utilitarian and vernacular style typical of pioneer farmsteads. Both buildings were constructed in circa 1830.

The property was designated by the City of Kitchener for its historic and architectural merit under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 2003-179).
