Mary Munshaw, the original owner of this property, sold it in 1892 to George Mitchell, a banker who soon thereafter built the house. The building was bought from the George Mitchell estate by the Canadian Legion, Branch 333, in 1946. The building now houses the Flesherton Public Library.

The two and a half story building was built around 1892, just after the High Victorian Period. There is a large brick addition on the back of the building, and at the side is a three window semi-hexagonal bay.

Under the largest gable is a three window bay recessed into the wall. The gable itself is decorated with fancy trim.

Below the bay and gable is a large picture window, which is joined to a half rounded picture window, made of small square pieces. The double window feature seems to be typical of the Flesherton area alone.

The brickwork is mainly monochromatic, although a few decorative white bricks are used around the windows.
