The ed gables and centre front gable of the house, and also the front gable of the large barn, are decorated with a distinctive looping 'gingerbread' bargeboard, probably added after the Blair family purchased the house in 1898. The upper-level windows are the original multi-paned casements. The lower-level windows are one-over-one sash. All of the windows are rectangular, with radiating brick voussoirs, dressed stone sills, and original louvered shutters. The very well proportioned front entrance has a rectangular divided transom and divided full sidelights. A rear kitchen wing, perhaps added in 2898, was constructed with matching brick and windows It has a flat roof with a partial-ogee curved parapet. A brick arch at the rear suggests an original oven or forge. The side door also originally had an arched opening. The interior includes the original baseboards more than 12 inches high, an impressive and graceful oak staircase, panelled doors, and coved plaster ceilings. The floors are inlaid hardwood downstairs and softwood plank upstairs. The foundation is rubblestone with a partial basement which has a compressed earth floor. The large frame barn is structurally sound and embellished with gingerbread, lightning rods and a weather vane. HISTORY; Plan 426 was the Rambo Crescent plan of development registered by J.N. and G.S. Blair in 1950. This property was formerly part of Plan 99, Brant's Block, Judge's Plan, registered in 1900. The property was part of the 3450 acre property granted by the Crown to Joseph Brant in 1798. In 1811 James Gage of Hamilton purchased 338 acres; in 1843, a 96 acre parcel was sold to Gilbert David; in 1850 45.5 acres was sole to Nelson Ogg for 350 pounds sterling. There were mortgages for $2000 (from Thomas Baxter) in 1862 and $1500 (fro Elgin Gage) in 1864; both mortgages were discharged (by Gage & Henderson) in 1866. Nelson Ogg, a cooper and Farms and Farminger, and his brother Joseph had immigrated from Quebec to Kilbride, and then in 1851 to Wellington Square. Nelson first lived, with his wife Lucy and their twelve Children and youth, at 2085 Pine Street and then moved c. 1863 to this larger house. The first Roman Catholic services in Burlington were held in Nelson Ogg's Pine Street house, since the parish was established in 1849, but the church was not built until he donated the land, at the north east corner of Pearl and Pine Streets. It was a mission church until 1925. It was demolished and replaced in 1952 by St. John's Church on Brant Street, next to the later Ogg home Nelson, Joseph and Nelson's son Joseph N. Ogg, were all coopers. J.N. served on council for many years. Another son, Perulin N. Ogg, was commissioner of the fire department in 1894 and later. In 1927 Nelson Ogg was Burlington's oldest citizen. In that year he planted a tree in front of the public library as part of Burlington's celebration of the golden anniversary of Confederation. It is said that he outlived the ceremonial tree, dying in 1936 at the age of 96."},{"label":"Date","value":"n.d."},{"label":"Title","value":"2021 Blairholm Avenue"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"2021 Blairholm Avenue","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/376e72dd-0801-43fd-a2fb-45b62243144f/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"2021 Blairholm Avenue","height":1241,"width":1600,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/376e72dd-0801-43fd-a2fb-45b62243144f/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/376e72dd-0801-43fd-a2fb-45b62243144f","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":1241,"width":1600},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/376e72dd-0801-43fd-a2fb-45b62243144f/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/376e72dd-0801-43fd-a2fb-45b62243144f/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/376e72dd-0801-43fd-a2fb-45b62243144f/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
