The mid-block structure located on the east side at 87 Toronto Street was built around the 1870’s in the Ontario Vernacular style. It faces the lane and was once the home of Harry Bugler.
The 1½-storey, rectangular building has a one-storey rear addition, a centre hall, and a medium-pitched, gable roof. Its front porch was open originally. The replacement windows have the original, plain, wood lug sills and trim. Metal storm windows and the door are also later additions. There is vinyl siding over the wood frame construction. The original cladding was probably wood cove siding. The structure has a parged, stone foundation. According to the 2000 inventory, little of the original building is apparent other than the form.
