Harry Leslie's daring escape from Bayfield
Huron History
Dave Yates
arry Leslie's
death defying
tight rope walk across the
Niagara's Whirlpool Rap-
ids on June 15, 1865 (and
again on July 4th) made
headlines around the
world. Capitalizing on his
new found fame, Leslie,
"the American Blondin ,
went on tour with his high
wire act.
Harry Leslie was born
in East Troy, New York in
1837. According to a brief
biography in A History of
the American Stage, he
performed, at an early
age, as a "tambourinist"
in a travelling theatre
company. In 1857, he
organized his own min-
strel show that travelled
through Canada and the
eastern United States and
was known as "a versatile
performer." The athletic
Leslie performed his first
tight rope walk at New
York's Bowery Theatre in
1860-61 and made it his
"specialty."

CURB APPEAL GALORE
With curb appeal galore, this one and a half
storey, three-bedroom home, which includes
an unfinished basement, will enhance any
residential neighbourhood.
The covered porch that shelters the entry
extends around the corner to form a small
veranda. Inside, the foyer includes a spacious
coat closet and leads into the great -room
complex, where part of the ceiling is double -
height, lending this area an airy elegance.
The gas fireplace in the great room, flanked
by built-in shelving, will cast its glow into the
dining room, as well as the kitchen. French
doors to the covered patio will make outdoor
meals easy to serve.
The kitchen, with a step -saving U-shaped
counter configuration, features a window
over the double sink with an extra -deep sill,
ideal for collectibles and pots of herbs.
To the left of the foyer is the laundry room
and a powder room is adjacent to the great
room, close to the U-shaped stairway to the
second floor.
Ceilings on the main floor measure nine feet
high.
Upstairs, the master bedroom occupies a
bayed -out area with a dramatic vaulted
ceiling that rises to 11 feet. A walk-in closet
is located across from the large en -suite,
which includes a soaker tub with a window
overlooking the back garden, as well as
double sinks and a shower stall.
The secondary bedrooms share a three
piece bath with a handy linen closet nearby.
On the exterior, board -and -batten cladding
adds texture to the lower part of the facade,
with stained wooden shakes on the upper
part. Unstained shakes provide contrast on
the front porch. Painted trim and decorative
woodwork add interest.
This home measures 48 feet wide by 46 feet,
six inches deep, for a total of 1,796 square
feet.
