The Scarborough Historical Museum buildings portray different time periods in Scarborough’s past. Cornell House was built in 1858 on the Markham Road in Scarborough Village. Inhabited by descendants of William Cornell for over 80 years, the one and a half storey frame house is typical of Upper Canadian Vernacular Style and is furnished to the early 1900s. McCowan Log House was built in the north east part of Scarborough on the banks of Wilcott Creek. The simple log structure has a large kitchen with a cooking fireplace and has been restored to its 1850s appearance. The Kennedy Gallery was an old shed moved from the Kennedy family farm in Agincourt. The interior was renovated using reclaimed tongue and groove pine flooring and hand grained wainscotting salvaged from the Malvern Methodist Church c. 1864 which was demolished in 1976.
