See \"The Filman Family of East Flamboro & Their Historic Houses\" (LACAC, 1996), especially pp. 2, 5, and 8 to 11. This was built as his retirement house.

ENVIRONMENT: USABILTY: INTEGRITY: Aluminum storms on some windows. Deck on second level of rear addition. Well maintained. 544 Locust Street Plan 111, Pt Lt 7 after 1910 B The David Filman town retirement house This was built after 1910 as a retirement house for David Filman, after he retired from market-garden Farms and Farminging on Maple Avenue. His son, Lee Conrad Filman, who inherited the Farms and Farming, is listed in the 1917, 1918 and 1922 telephone directories as resident on Maple Avenue. In the 1916 Sewerage Works Plan of Locust Street, this house is shown as owned by D. Filman. D. P. Filman is listed in the 1922 Telephone directory as residing on Locust Street. The 1924 GOAD Insurance map shows the address as 67 Locust. This is thought to have been the first house in downtown Burlington to have an oil furnace. Neighbours and relatives, it is said, used to predict that it would blow up and/or send its owner to the poorhouse. This is a good example of a two-storey four-square Edwardian vernacular structure clad with stretcher-bond brick, like others built in downtown Burlington during this decade. An offset front gable above a projecting panel with large arched windows on the first and second levels has a semi-circular window at the third level. There is also a small half moon window on the south side, perhaps to light the stairs. All the other windows have segmental arches, radiating voussoirs and stone sills. A full shed-roofed verandah with an offset gable over the front steps has a plain boxed cornice and frieze, The verandah roof is supported by Doric columns on brick supports. The old photograph shows that the verandah had a trellis for a climbing plant and a striped canvas shade. As with most late Edwardian houses, the windows had no shutters. This well maintained building makes a contribution to the Edwardian streetscape of Locust Street."},{"label":"Creator","value":"Pat Taylor"},{"label":"Date","value":"1890"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1890"},{"label":"Title","value":"544 Locust Street, Burlington, ON"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"544 Locust Street, Burlington, ON","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/0699ce9e-fe54-4d11-89a3-b811880c6596/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"544 Locust Street, Burlington, ON","height":1064,"width":1600,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/0699ce9e-fe54-4d11-89a3-b811880c6596/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/0699ce9e-fe54-4d11-89a3-b811880c6596","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":1064,"width":1600},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/0699ce9e-fe54-4d11-89a3-b811880c6596/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/0699ce9e-fe54-4d11-89a3-b811880c6596/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/0699ce9e-fe54-4d11-89a3-b811880c6596/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
