Original Toronto Star caption: Developer Bruce McLaughlin talks to security guard Robert Sexsmith outside 150-year-old Silverthorn mansion in Mississauga. The home is to be moved one block and turned into a museum and restaurant to preserve it for future generations' interest. Built in 1822; it was the first home in Mississauga. The museum will be run by the Peel County Historical Society. Street-widening plans necessitated the moving project.
