Brubacher House is significant as it is a building typical of the Mennonite Georgian style. The home was one of the original farm houses on the campus, and its design and construction materials represent the Pennsylvania German culture which was dominant in the area. Features such as the large veranda, which spans the length of the south facade, and the return eaves on the gables of both the east and west elevations exemplify the Mennonite version of plain Georgian style.” (Canadian Register Nomination) Mennonite Georgian houses found in the Waterloo Region frequently have full-width front porches and attached “doddy houses”. The number of bays varies with the builder. 4

Typical of Classical Revival, the structure has a symmetrical 3-bay Georgian plan but with more refined, delicate features. Most notable are the returned eaves, the five 6-over-6 façade windows with louvered wooden shutters and, in particular, the central front entranceway which, although modified circa 1920, is consistent with the Classical Revival style. The entranceway displays a fanlight, side lights, pilasters and an outstanding triangular architrave.” (Canadian Register Nomination) 5
