His book Cottage Residences, a highly influential pattern book of houses that mixed romantic architecture with the English countryside's pastoral picturesque, was widely read and consulted, doing much to spread the so-called \"Carpenter Gothic\" architectural styles among Victorian builders. This was followed by The Architecture of Country Houses (1850), another influential pattern book. Downing believed that architecture and the fine arts could affect the morals of the owners, and that improvement of the external appearance of a home would help \"better\" all those who had contact with the home. The general good of America was benefited by good taste and beautiful architecture, he wrote. Downing saw that the family home was becoming the place for moral education and the focus of middle class America's search for the meaning of life. His designs were adopted by educated householders who admired his new, modern asthetic. He is credited with the popularization of the front porch, which he saw as the link from the house to nature. Building porches had just become easier due to the advance in building methods, and these two factors together resulted in the frequency of front porches being built on residences at that time. This one-and-a-half-storey frame structure is clad with board and batten, as recommended by Downing. Decorative gingerbread bargeboard with finials decorates the gables. The centre gable has a gothic-arched window. Other windows have their original pedimented frames and 2/2 wood sash. The prominent front porch has a mansard roof decorated with iron treillage and supported by turned wood posts, with the original low railing and gingerbread below the cornice. The front entrance has the original double-leaf door and an old wood storm door. The roof is clad with old, perhaps original, cedar shingles. A one-storey end-gabled side wing has a verandah with posts and windows of a simpler design.,Built circa 1855 for William Panton, who emigrated from Ireland in 1834, first settling in Frankville. He served with the Government forces in the 1837 rebellion and after the war married Rebecca Culloden and lived at Thorold, where he had a position as Public Works Inspector connected with the building of the Welland Canal. He returned to Nelson Township and purchased a Farms and Farming he called Bakersdale. With his partner Frank Baker he set up a milling and lumbering business at Cumminsville, with two mills and two stores. Panton and Baker surveyed the Village of Kilbride, Plan 13, registered in 1854. They named Kilbride after a town in Wicklow, Ireland. Lots were advertised in 1857, \"particularly suited to tradesmen and mechanics\", but the building boom did not materialize. His business failed and the family moved to Milton, where William Panton Senior was appointed county clerk, then division court clerk, and finally inspector of inland revenues. The Panton Homestead was advertised for sale in 1871: \"lots 17, 18, 19 and 20, on Jane Street, known as the 'Panton Homestead' on which are erected a GOOD FRAME HOUSE, WORKSHOP AND STABLE\". The outbuildings are still standing as well. Anna Catherine (nee Pickett) Prudham lived here from 1950 to 1957, the home purchased for her use by her son the Honorable George Prudham, Privy Council, Federal Mines Minister in the St. Laurent cabinet from 1949 to 1957. The house was purchased ca 1957 by the Zwicker family from the Prudham family."},{"label":"Contributor","value":"Jane Irwin"},{"label":"Creator","value":"Jane Irwin"},{"label":"Date","value":"1992"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1992"},{"label":"Title","value":"The Panton homestead, 2080 Kilbride Street, 1992"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"The Panton homestead, 2080 Kilbride Street, 1992","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/70f4361b-11b0-44b3-ae5c-7445eaccdcab/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"The Panton homestead, 2080 Kilbride Street, 1992","height":990,"width":1600,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/70f4361b-11b0-44b3-ae5c-7445eaccdcab/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/70f4361b-11b0-44b3-ae5c-7445eaccdcab","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":990,"width":1600},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/70f4361b-11b0-44b3-ae5c-7445eaccdcab/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/70f4361b-11b0-44b3-ae5c-7445eaccdcab/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/70f4361b-11b0-44b3-ae5c-7445eaccdcab/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
