Painting of Glenbran farm?

[l_bamboo]

We believe this is a painting of glenbran farm but aren't sure as none of the census record our family (
Simpson) as residing there although we have family photos of the house dating around 1900.  Any tips on this would help! The picture was painted by J.S. Merriles

Yes I think it is too.  Where could I find the information on the family that was there at the time of the painting...  I'm trying to connect it to the Simpson family, maybe Thomas Simpson 1822 - 1893.

John D. Simpson would be Fred's older brother.  This is a picture of Isabelle and Agatha (I think) in front of the house.
