Built between 1814 and 1823 by Charles Ermatinger of the North West Company, the Ermatinger House is the oldest surviving house in northwestern Ontario. Raised when Sault Ste. Marie was still a small fur trading post on the Upper Lakes, it soon became the centre of the district's business and social life and was visited by Lord Selkirk, Anna Jameson, Sir John Richardson, Paul Kane, and George Catlin.
