From a featured article in Ontario Homes – Spring 2007
“This is a house built on land bursting with stories of yesteryear in a village on the eastern shore of Owen Sound. The grey stone bungalow is nestled among the pines near the banks of the Telfer Creek in Leith, on the grounds of a golf course closed since the early 1970s.
The home was built in the fall of 2005 by Clancy Builders, a company known for its beautiful designs and meticulous construction.
Tim Clancy, a partner in the company with his parents, Tom and Theresa Clancy, shows off an album of old black-and-white photos showing the course in its heyday.
“Back then, when the golf course was open, you could go down to the Leith Store, pay your two dollars and play golf all day long,” he says with a laugh. “And at one time, about 60 or 70 years ago, there was also a whiskey distillery at the edge of the creek.”
Tom Clancy has been in the business of building custom homes in Grey, Bruce and Simcoe counties since 1988. His son joined the firm three years ago, returning home from Toronto, where he went to work after completing a business degree at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University.”
