Excerpt from #8 Stouffville Junction North:
...On the southwest corner, #18 Albert (formerly Centre Street) is a large Victorian home,
built c1879 as a manse for William Percy, Christian Church Minister. Rev. Percy's daughter,
Elizabeth, is remembered for donating the clock to the renovated tower in 1931 in memory of
her parents. The gingerbread and large finials are original. Other features (to be seen with
variations elsewhere) are the coins in contrasting brick and the soldier brick over the
windows...
