Tara Hall
Tara Hall is a Georgian manor house in the village of Wellington, in Prince Edward County in Ontario, Canada. It was built by merchant and postmaster Archibald McFaul〔MacKay, Robert W. S. (1851) ''The Canada Directory'' Montreal: John Lovell Co. p.465〕 between 1837 and November,1839.〔Prince Edward Historical Society (2000) ''Historic Prince Edward: An Historical Guide to Prince Edward County, Ontario'' Picton: Printcraft. p. 26. ISBN 0-919825-18-4〕 McFaul named the house "Tara Hall" after the ancient Irish legend of Tara's Banquet Hall at the Hill of Tara 〔The Dublin Penny Journal (1834) ("Tara's Hall" ) p.36〕 The Hall is a well-preserved example of Regency-era Georgian architecture in the United Empire Loyalist style.〔http://www.ontarioarchitecture.com/loyalist.htm〕〔(Prince Edward County Historic Notes )〕 unique to the region. It is listed on the register of historic buildings of Prince Edward County 〔(Prince Edward County Heritage Designations )〕 and is protected under the Ontario Heritage Act of the Province of Ontario 〔Ontario Heritage Foundation Record of Designation, by-law number 1628, Toronto, 1985. p.49〕 and has been described as “an outstanding achievement in its day” 〔Cruickshank, Tom (1984) ''The Settler’s Dream'' Picton: The Corporation of the County of Prince Edward. p. 410 ISBN 0-9692049-0-6〕
==Construction==
Tara Hall is constructed from brick laid five deep in the decorative Flemish bond fashion. The bricks used in Tara Hall were manufactured in Rochester, New York and made the Lake Ontario crossing as ballast in McFaul’s schooners on the return journey after delivering agricultural produce to the United States.〔“Wellington’s Tara Hall Withstands the Wind” Belleville Intelligencer, Vol. 5, No. 24, June 12, 1995, p.1〕〔Capon, Alan R. and Haylock, Margaret E. (1982) ''More Stories of Prince Edward County'' Picton:Mika Publishing Co. p.33 ISBN 0-919825-36-2〕〔French, Orland (2013) ‘’Wind, Water, Barley & Wine: The Nature of Prince Edward County’’ Belleville: Wallbridge House Publishing. p.109 ISBN 978-0-9688255-6-3〕 The corners of the building are set with large tooled limestone quoins. The front of the building features wide Venetian windows with splayed stone lintels above a stone band course separating the storeys. At some time prior to the 1870s a long pagoda-roofed veranda was added running the length of the building. Only photographs and trace impressions of the veranda’s supports remain.
