I had Port Burwell in mind, took the back way, and found several purple martin houses (various ages and sizes) at the Miller’s property (Mennonites) on Walker Rd., east of Aylmer, north of Highway 3.

I like the idea of hinges on the sides to open. Never really noticed any birdhouses with clean outs like that before.
Hi Tufa Girl,
The only other one like the big boxes shown was also a Mennonite (Amish) design, also on a pulley system.
I have an octagonal design in mind for my next big project. (Photo shown earlier; I'll look for the link.
Cheers,
GH
