The attractive Elias Cox house, 8412 Emerick Road, Lysander, was built in 1850 at a settlement once known as Hortontown. Cox's great-granddaughter, Mrs. Marshall Bradway, recalled it took three days to transport a load of stone used to build it, by ox cart from Lake Ontario, a distance of 24 miles. It is of Greek Revival architecture. Some corners have quoins with six rows of stones which is rare. Courtesy Richard Palmer.
