In 1904, Edward M. Young, a lawyer and County Clerk purchased six acres of land overlooking historic Picton Harbour from the estate of Reverend William Macaulay, founder of Picton. Young mortgaged the land for $4500 and hired Kingston architect William Newlands to design a home. ‘Claramount,’ a gracious colonial revival mansion was the happy result.
Young named the estate for his wife, Clara, who was the daughter of canning magnate Wellington Boulter. A suitable home for the prominent couple, ‘Claramount’ subsequently was transformed into a tourist home, an apartment building, and home of the Prince Edward Cruising Club. In 2001, it was purchased by the present owners, and has been painstakingly restored to its former glory.
