TRANSCRIPT

The Nash-Jackson house has been relocated over the last several years to a site which was owned by the Gage Family (and in-laws of the Nash-Jackson family) so it's in a contextual setting (I think) in terms of its social history. But more significantly, this has been the site of a very terminal and pivotal battle in the war of 1812- The Battle of Stoney Creek and also since the late 19th century, the site of historical commemoration of the War of 1812 starting in the late 19th Century with a movement that historians refer to as the 'Canadian Imperialistic School of History'. On this site, there's a fabulously designed and built monument which was built to commemorate the Battle of Stoney Creek in the late 19th Century.* So an ideal location for preserving and relocating this structure and the reason for its move was the site was commercially viable and so the house had to be salvaged and moved to another property. And this was the ideal property.

*The monument was completed in 1913.
