The Robert Coulter House an example of a late Carpenter Gothic Ontario farmhouse. The house still has most of its original architectural features including its central gables, bargeboard trim, windows, well and pump. The unique red and buff brickwork is also original. It is one of the few remaining Etobicoke houses of this period that has not been irreversibly altered or taken out of its original landscape context. The front of the house was built overlooking what is now the Glen Agar Park ravine. What was the historic back of the house has now become the present day frontage as 112 Ravescrest Drive.

The identity of the Coulter house builder is unknown. However, certain architectural elements show similarities to William Tyrrell designed structures. Furthermore, Tyrrell did employ and do business with the extended family of Andrew and Robert Coulter, so it is possible that he would have been Robert’s first choice when hiring a builder for his new home. Another possible builder could be the firm of “Streight and Ide” of Islington, as they appear to be the only significant builders listed in the Weston, Malton, Richview and Islington areas around this time.
