In that year William Ghent sold Lots 1, 3 & other land (the Ghent Farms and Farming) to Edward Harman or Harmon. In 1914/1915 this was part of the rural lands annexed to Burlington. 1915 Voters List: Edw. Harmon and Edw. Harmon Jr, both Gardeners, part lot 85, Brant. The Harmons were fruit growers who lived in \"Maple Lodge\", the historic Bray - Ghent House built in 1854, now 795 Brant Street. The 1919 Voters List includes E. J. Harmon, E. Harmon, and John Harmon, all Gardeners, at part lot 85, Brant Street. But by 1922, Ed Harmon is listed in the Telephone Directory as living on New Street, and Ned Harmon on Burlington Avenue. In 1919 Harman sold this property to John & Evelyn West. John West took mortgages on this property in 1918 and 1922, probably to build this house. In the 1919 Voters List Mrs J. West, M[arried] W[oman], is listed at part lot 84, Brant Street. The property, now 780 Brant Street, had been owned earlier by John West: the 1916 Sewerage Plan shows his house with a side verandah and a front corner verandah, on the northwest corner of Brant and Graham's Lane. 1918 Telephone Directory: John West on Brant. 1922 Telephone Directory: John West on Ghent (same telephone number) 1927 Voters List: John West, Farms and Farminger, and Mrs E. West, MW, (absent) owners of part lot 84, Brant. In 1927 West sold 3.5 acres of his property to Walter Scott Powers & wife, who in 1932 sold 1.5 acres to Earl Carter Thomas. The property remained in the Thomas family's possession for more than sixty years. Thomas acquired parts of lot 1 in 1946 and 1949. Mrs Thomas died in 1984. In 1988 the property was transferred to Thelma (nee Thomas) Landry, as joint tenant with her husband, and then to her alone in 1992. She sold it in 1995 to Ben Michaud, who developed part of the property and then sold this remaining part to the present owners. ARCHITECTURE: This large one-and-a-half-storey bungalow is a very fine example of the Craftsman Style. The high-pitched end-gabled roof is broken by a large gabled dormer. The decorative exposed rafter tails were individually cut by hand from a pattern. The side gables, the front dormer gable, and a band under the eaves of the front elevation, are all clad with wooden shingles. A tall brick chimney rises from the fireplace, just to the front of the roof peak. The lower level is clad with stretcher-bond brick, The brickwork is unusually good and is in very good condition. The Craftsman Style bungalow commonly has a full front open verandah. The interior flooring also indicates that there was originally a front verandah area, which has its own separate basement room, accessible only through a lift-up panel and ladder. However, the exterior brickwork shows no distinction between the enclosed verandah and the rest of the house. It may be, therefore, that the brick was applied as a veneer over the entire lower level, after the verandah was enclosed. The windows on the front elevation are grouped. The dormer has a group of five, 6/1 wood sash; the dormer sides are glazed in a similar pattern. The lower level has a four grouped 4/1 wood sash windows. The east elevation includes an oriel window."},{"label":"Creator","value":"Pat Taylor"},{"label":"Date","value":"1910"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1910"},{"label":"Title","value":"2059 Ghent Avenue, Burlington"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"2059 Ghent Avenue, Burlington","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e9f12d5d-ba02-4b22-b34b-8e983f963630/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"2059 Ghent Avenue, Burlington","height":1064,"width":1600,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e9f12d5d-ba02-4b22-b34b-8e983f963630/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/e9f12d5d-ba02-4b22-b34b-8e983f963630","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":1064,"width":1600},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e9f12d5d-ba02-4b22-b34b-8e983f963630/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e9f12d5d-ba02-4b22-b34b-8e983f963630/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/e9f12d5d-ba02-4b22-b34b-8e983f963630/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
