The original structure of this house (the present kitchen, dining room and scullery) was built in 1820 for him. The enlarged structure was built circa 1852 for Hiram Smith.,According to Turcotte, Memories of Pioneer Days, pp. 167 ÔÇô 169, Clement Lucas was born in Ireland, and emigrated to New York City with his parents when he was nine (circa 1764). The Lucas family moved to New Brunswick as United Empire Loyalists about ten years later. There Clement married Phoebe Land, whose parents Robert & Phoebe Land moved to the Head-of-the-Lake. Before 1806 Clement & Phoebe Lucas and their 8 Children and youth moved to Nelson Township. He was a shipbuilder and probably continued to work in that trade in Wellington Square while he and his sons cleared and Farms and Farminged their land. He and his older sons served during the War of 1812 and enlisted in the local militia. Lucas became a Major and one of his sons, John, a Captain. John later Farms and Farminged on Middle Road (now the QEW). His house and barn were later moved to the Ontario Agricultural Museum, abandoned by the Provincial government in 1996.

According to Turcotte, Memories of Pioneer Days, pp. 50ÔÇô56, Hiram Smith was the son of Joel Smith and Margaret Campbell, whose father and grandfather had both served with Butler Rangers in the American revolutionary war. Joel Smith was in business with John Chisholm at the Old Outlet on the beach. Hiram married Hannah Philips Chisholm; their first home was at Oak Bank, on the north-west corner of Lakeshore Road at Brant Street. Hiram Smith and Andrew Chisholm, in the second generation of the business, shipped thousands of bushels of grain from their Wellington Square Dock. In 1834 Hiram made a business trip to establish contacts in Montreal, Brockville and Oswego, for an expanded business. In 1837 the firm of Smith & Chisholm was licensed to haveOne Still, for the purpose of distilling spirituous liquors, containing thirty Gallons, and no more. Hiram was a volunteer who went to Chippewa in 1837 to help put down the Mackenzie Rebellion. His letter describing the burning of the steamer Caroline is quoted in Hazel Chisholm Matthews, Oakville and the Sixteen. From the profits of the business at Wellington Square, Hiram bought 200 acres of land on Walkers Line: 100 acres to the east, called Strathcona, and 100 acres to the west, called Ravenswood. He and his wife moved to Ravenswood circa 1852, after the Wellington Square business failed."},{"label":"Date","value":"1994 (PHOTO)"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1994"},{"label":"Title","value":"243 Malvern Road, Burlington \"Ravenswood\""},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"243 Malvern Road, Burlington \"Ravenswood\"","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/c9e80824-d07d-4543-bcf7-32d3f50d086c/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"243 Malvern Road, Burlington \"Ravenswood\"","height":331,"width":499,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/c9e80824-d07d-4543-bcf7-32d3f50d086c/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/c9e80824-d07d-4543-bcf7-32d3f50d086c","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":331,"width":499},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/c9e80824-d07d-4543-bcf7-32d3f50d086c/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/c9e80824-d07d-4543-bcf7-32d3f50d086c/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/c9e80824-d07d-4543-bcf7-32d3f50d086c/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
