The lawn tennis players may be some of the 3 sons and 5 daughters of Charles and Cynthia (nee Allen) Mills. The frame house is a basic Edwardian four-square plan, which is common in Hamilton, but is also similar to frame houses built in 1903 by James Harrison at 2059 Gore Street and 384 Pearl Street (both demolished in 2007). The verandah with second-level arched screened porch is like that added to the south (rear) elevation of Chestnut Villa (2220 & 2222 Lakeshore Road) by Maxwell Smith when he bought it in 1906.,In white ink, lower right: \"Chas. Mills Residence / Burlington Ont.\" This message is copied from a postcard sent to Miss Fanny Andrews, Spruceside Ave., Hamilton, Ont. \"Dear Fanny: Could you come out to B. on Thursday afternoon early. Would love to have you out, before we go away. Bring your bathing suit. <signature undeciphered>\" The card was postmarked 10 July 1912, a Wednesday. Postal service was efficient in those days, with home delivery twice a day.,Charles Mills (1860 - 1934) was a prominent Hamilton architect and merchant. He and John Waldie formed a real-estate partnership in 1882 and developed Herkimer, Queen and Locke Streets in Hamilton. Mills married Cynthia Allen in 1882. Mills then trained in Chicago as an architect and in 1888 returned to Hamilton to operate his own architectural firm, working with Gordon Hutton and William Souter. His Mills Survey, Plan 623 on Plains Road West at Unsworth Avenue was registered in 1918. Mills was the architect who designed and directed the construction of the Public Library on Brant Street in 1907. \"Thayendanegea\" was built ca 1895 as the summer residence for Charles Mills, who bought the property (Plan 65, Part Lot 35) in 1894 for $350. He deeded it to his wife Cynthia Margret Mills in 1897 at a value of $1500. She sold it in 1922 to Sarah Elizabeth Sharpe. \"Thayendanegea\" is shown in Jack Kirby's birds-eye view (1946 -1948). It was demolished before 1980. Gwelda (nee Garnham) Fontaine (13 May 1981): [The northeast corner at Brock (then Brant) Avenue]: 'a very large yellow and green two-story house [with] a verandah running on three sides [and] a great deal of 'gingerbread-like' trim. It holds a commanding view of the south and Lake Ontario. ... the home of the Sharpe family ... a painter and a decorator .. a very tall, slender grey-haired man\" [Northwest corner of Nelson Avenue, inside a very large decorative iron fence, the] very large brick home of the Clinton family. The soft fall of the land and the myriads of maple trees for shade gave a perfect setting to enjoy the view overlooking Lake Ontario. A priceless spot.\" [To the east] \"originally the home of the G. W. Robinson family. Later ... the Symington family. To the best of my recall, this property was always vacant. in 1985, the Ladies Auxiliary of Hamilton General Hospital took over the house, remodelled it and made it into a summer camp for the underprivileged Children and youth of Hamilton. One month it was for girls and the next month it was for boys.... My first job at the age of 16. I taught crafts to the Children and youth, along with swimming. When they relocated some two or three years later to the Moddie home in Port Nelson, I continued to hold the position."},{"label":"Contributor","value":"Mr D. H.
