From time to time they had reason to entertain members of the militia, and other prominent passers-by. Then, too, Cap’t Young had been made a justice of the peace, was performing marriages, and needing appropriate facilities. No longer was the log house adequate for the expanding family and its requirements. Plans were made for a spacious home of frame, within sight of the bay. The space for its cellar was excavated by Young’s own slaves. Over the next three to four years the house gradually took shape. Its kitchen was located in the cellar, Dutch-style, its large fireplace having a swinging crane, and on one side a bake oven. A pine floor and a flagstone were in an addition attached to the west end of the house, and reached only by way of the cellar kitchen or an outside door. On the main floor there were two more fireplaces having handsome mantels. For his parlour ceiling Mr. Young chose an extraordinary moulding done in plaster. A Dutch-style verandah ran the length of the main house with an enclosed gable-porch in the centre at the second storey level, from which one could view the activities on the bay and up and down the Portage road.

Lavish and kindly hospitality is to be extended to the passing officers and officials at the new Young homestead. The family holds a position of importance, and the house is becoming a rendez-vous for the British and local Militia commanders passing up and down with the regiments and detachments of troops. At one time this year, there have been as many as two thousand troops here encamped, two regiments having met in their journey each way, each proceeding in the opposite direction. The troops are bivouacked in tents all around the area, and the whole region has been alive with people. Captain Young does a mixture of farming and official business.
