The Brooks Howard House (also known as Sunny Hill Farm) is located at 365 Main Street N., in the Town of Newmarket. It is a one-and-a-half storey Ontario style farm house which was constructed in circa 1850. This farm house is a well maintained and fine example of a one-and-a-half storey Ontario vernacular. The plank construction, however, is unique, due to its rarity as a building method. The outside walls of the building are constructed of planks (not boards) which are set vertically and become part of the structural system. This residence features a symmetrical three bay façade with a gable roof. The gable roof is interrupted with a dormer centered over the entrance. The dormer features a window with a simple wood surround. The apex of the dormer features a simple trefoil motif. The gable dormer is completed with decorative bargeboard.
