While in the area, you can also visit Fairfield-Gutzeit House, a Victorian-era house that overlooks Lake Ontario.

The home was originally built by William and Benjamin Fairfield in 1786 as a simple 1.5-story structure that has since been altered. Specifically, these alterations took place after 1938, when the house was brought back to the Fairfield family after being given to different owners in the 1860s.

 

The house was bought by Mabel Fairfield Gutzeit, granddaughter of William Fairfield. Since her husband’s surname had been Gutzeit, it was added to the building name for the house as we know it today. Although renovations have taken place, the goal has been to keep the house as authentic to the Victorian era as possible. For a trip through time and into Bath’s early history, visit the Fairfield-Gutzeit House.
