Today’s topic is the history of Mississauga's Minerva’s Bower / Cuchulainn’s Irish Pub.
Minerva's Bower, Streetsville, 1960
United Empire Loyalist John Barnhart built this house in 1832 as a wedding gift for his daughter, Minerva, and her husband William H. Paterson. Minerva operated a school for young ladies here.
Today the building is home to Cuchulainn’s Irish Pub, and is rumoured to be home to several spirits from the past. The modern veneer of brick hides the original character of the historic house.
