The Log Farm House is a two-storey white ash log house built between 1854 and 1857. It is located at 670 Cedarview Rd, Nepean in the Greenbelt. Situated between urban Bells Corners and Barrhaven, the site finds itself in a condensed rural landscape. This property is owned and managed by the NCC and site custodian Ryan Orr. The log farmhouse has architectural, environmental, and historic value. It is a fine example of early Canadian vernacular architecture and is one of the few remaining examples of this style in the Ottawa Valley. This home is also valued for its association with the lifestyle of early settlers, in particular the Bradley family. The farm is valued for the land it sits on which was farmed for a long period of time. The land is no longer farmed but is used as a pasture for farm animals and walking trails. This property is now used as a sugarbush and a museum that is open to visitors on weekends. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2016.
