It was part of a Crown Grant to the Hon. Peter Russell, registered in 1796. In the 1875 Wentworth Illustrated Atlas, the property is shown as owned by J. F. Kerns. In 1878, James Filman purchased it from Mary and Isaiah Kern for $7,000. In 1884 the ownership passed to Joshua Filman, for whom the house was built in 1886 or 1895. In the 1903 Imperial Atlas the 119-acre property and the house are shown as owned by Joshua N. Filman. The house is illustrated in Martha Craig's The Garden of Canada (1902) as the 'Residence of G. N. [sic, should read J. N.] Filman, Esq, Aldershot'. In 1905 the Farms and Farming was divided among Joshua's five sons. Walter, who married Ethel Attridge of Waterdown in 1908, and lived in the back of his father's house, inherited it and the central portion of the property. He created a bird sanctuary, which was later the source of the street names for the Birdland residential development. The ravine area associated with Teal Park is the former site of the sanctuary for water birds. The pear trees still bearing fruit in Teal Park are thought to be about 100 years old. In 1943 Elgin and Helen Langton (who were related to the Filman family) and their three young Children and youth, Margery, Jack, and Carol, moved in to share the house with the widowed Ethel, who had no Children and youth. The 26-acre market garden then produced potatoes, tomatoes, asparagus, cantaloupes, strawberries,plums, pears, and Spy apples. In 1956 the Langtons sold the house and property to Jake Cook, the developer of Birdland. In 1994 Bob and Carol (Langton) Giles bought the house in which she had grown up. It had been converted for multiple residential use. The Giles received a Heritage Award in 1995 for their maintenance and restoration of the house. This is an excellent example of a large two-and-a-half-storey dichromatic brick structure with Second Empire design details. The high truncated hipped roof has several offset gables projecting over two and a half storey bays. The gables have boxed cornices, a moulded frieze with brackets, and eaves returns. Two of the offset gables have smaller ornate gables with returns within the larger gable with decorative panels at the sides supported by solid large wooden brackets. Below the gables are arched windows. The front elevation of the house faces north; its south elevation is on Townsend Avenue. It now stands at the corner of Eagle Drive in the Birdland Survey. The front second level has narrow paired windows within a single frame. All the building openings are segmental with buff voussoirs radiating to the side and dressed stone sills. The front door has sidelights and a transom protected by a small shed roofed portico with a beaded cornice, supported by turned posts with brackets at the tops. The side verandah has similar details. The setting of the house is well landscaped with a variety of trees and shrubs and a flagstone walkway, behind a privacy fence. The water pump and well have been preserved. This is a landmark heritage structure in Aldershot"},{"label":"Creator","value":"Pat Taylor"},{"label":"Date","value":"1886"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1886"},{"label":"Title","value":"327 Townsend, Burlington, ON"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"327 Townsend, Burlington, ON","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5cfc04f3-7511-4896-a22a-2c2f92d166d6/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"bhs_204131-1","height":533,"width":800,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/d6f31e31-3323-47ed-86bf-05ab649a457c/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/d6f31e31-3323-47ed-86bf-05ab649a457c","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2]}]},"height":533,"width":800},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5cfc04f3-7511-4896-a22a-2c2f92d166d6/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/d6f31e31-3323-47ed-86bf-05ab649a457c/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5cfc04f3-7511-4896-a22a-2c2f92d166d6/canvas/_2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"bhs_204131-2","height":533,"width":800,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5bfafd44-d389-4759-b3a4-6b8f8d80cd23/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/5bfafd44-d389-4759-b3a4-6b8f8d80cd23","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2]}]},"height":533,"width":800},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5cfc04f3-7511-4896-a22a-2c2f92d166d6/canvas/_2","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5bfafd44-d389-4759-b3a4-6b8f8d80cd23/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5cfc04f3-7511-4896-a22a-2c2f92d166d6/canvas/_3","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"bhs_204131-3","height":533,"width":800,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/9e87e100-1628-48dd-8e24-48e6de3487f8/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/9e87e100-1628-48dd-8e24-48e6de3487f8","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2]}]},"height":533,"width":800},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/5cfc04f3-7511-4896-a22a-2c2f92d166d6/canvas/_3","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/9e87e100-1628-48dd-8e24-48e6de3487f8/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/d6f31e31-3323-47ed-86bf-05ab649a457c/full/300,300/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
