Exploring Elderslie’s Ranch-Style Homes, lost mid-century Camden

Tarn House, a ranch-style residence built in 1963 by Dr. Gordon Clowes in Elderslie, represents Camden's mid-century modern architecture. Clowes, an influential community figure and surgeon, lived there with his family. The house, now lost, was part of a broader trend of ranch-style homes in the area during the 1960s.
