Kingston is remarkable in that the visual evidence of its place in Canadian history and in Canadian architecture is still here: many of its older streets are lined with houses built of stone, and charming old limestone farm houses are found even in new subdivisions, surrounded now by modern, split-level dwellings. This book will inform and delight all those who take pleasure in the old buildings and in the social history of this country.

Reviews for The Old Stones of Kingston: Its Buildings Before 1867
'Mrs Angus's text is lively and anecdotal, and is obviously based on many years of dedicated and painstaking research... The Old Stones of Kingston has a special appeal for those who know and love this historic city; but it also offers something of real value to anyone who has even a slight interest in architecture, history, or Canada.'
