In the Streetsville area, you’ll find a historic shop called Casa La Boutique, formerly known as Casa Mobilia. Built in 1821, the building currently serves as a vendor of unique décor and gifts; but it has an interesting story to it. United Empire Loyalist John Barnhart founded and built this trading post/store, dubbing it “Montreal House.” His nephew, journalist Solomon Barnhart, printed the publication Streetsville Review from the second floor from 1857-66. Drop by to see jewelry being crafted by hand! It’s open on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be found at 208 Queen Street South, Streetsville.
