B. Coleman in 1929, is a re-subdivision of Plan 97, J.A J. Filman's Survey, registered in 1897, which is a re-subdivision of Plan 47, McMurray's Brant Farms and Farming Survey, registered in 1869. This land is part of the 1798 Crown Grant to the United Empire Loyalist Joseph Brant (1742 - - 1807), whose Mohawk name was Thayendanega. This part of the Brant Farms and Farming was sold in 1875 by the estate of Brant's grandson, Simcoe Kerr, to J. Morris of Hamilton, who expanded the Brant House and turned the property into a resort hotel. The property changed hands several times and then in 1892 was sold to the great Burlington builder and developer Alfred Brigham Coleman (1865 - 1938). In 1900 he built the new grand Brant Hotel, a summer attraction that brought many wealthy American families, including the Duponts and the Mellons, to Burlington. Soon afterwards he moved to Toronto, where he was involved with construction projects for the Canadian National Exhibition, the University of Toronto's Convocation Hall, and Shea's Hippodrome. In 1905 Coleman married Samena Rose De Witt (1881 - 1939). By 1908 he had built five large cottages along the Bay on what is now Indian Road, four of which still stand: 490, 504 , 512, and 518. (The fifth house at 480, rebuilt with inappropriate design and materials, has been deleted from the Heritage Resource Inventory.) In 1909 he returned from Toronto with his family to live again in Burlington. In 1924 their son Brant built his house nearby at 1050 Mohawk Road. Brant Coleman's map, reproduced in From Pathway to Skyway, shows Brant Park circa 1915, with the large cottages between McMillan's Lane and the six-hole golf course. There were six tennis courts; the Davis Cup competition was held there one year. A footbridge crossed the \"Big Gut\" to connect Indian Point to the Hotel, where summer guests enjoyed recreational amenities. The former Big Gut is now a Diversion Channel. The Toronto - Hamilton Highway, indicated with broken lines on Coleman's map, is the present North Shore Boulevard, part of Provincial Heritage Highway No. 2. The 1929 subdivision plan marked the transformation of the summer resort to a year-round residential community. The Craftsman Style and ethos of the summer cottages were developed and enhanced by the landscape architecture of the new survey. The Indian Point entrances were marked by cobblestone gates, and the lamp standards at Algonquin Road echoed the gateway design, with cobblestone bases. The gates and lamp standards, owned by the City, were designated in 1996 and the gates were restored in 1997. The excellent restoration was recognized by a Heritage Award in 1998. This house was built in 1900, in the same year as the Brant Hotel. In 1946 this property was sold by Samena Rose De Witt Coleman's estate to photographer Frank Wright & his wife Mary Wright. ARCHITECTURE: A highly distinctive Craftsman Style structure with a low truncated hipped roof, wide eaves, and a centre chimney. It is clad with smooth finished plaster on the first level and stucco on the second level. The foundation level is coursed rubble stone. The numerous windows are double-hung 6/1 sash with pivoted storm windows. The front and side enclosed verandahs have sash and mullioned windows and shed roofs. ENVIRONMENT: Located at the entrance to Indian Road, a well-known landmark structure. The drive is distinguished by two cobblestone gates. USABILITY: Multiple residential. INTEGRITY: Well maintained and unspoiled."},{"label":"Creator","value":"Pat Taylor"},{"label":"Date","value":"2012"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:2012"},{"label":"Title","value":"518 Indian Road, Burlington"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"518 Indian Road, Burlington","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/ec5d4d4b-cf26-4be6-90d5-29481fd38871/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"518 Indian Road, Burlington","height":1064,"width":1600,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/ec5d4d4b-cf26-4be6-90d5-29481fd38871/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/ec5d4d4b-cf26-4be6-90d5-29481fd38871","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/ec5d4d4b-cf26-4be6-90d5-29481fd38871/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/ec5d4d4b-cf26-4be6-90d5-29481fd38871/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/ec5d4d4b-cf26-4be6-90d5-29481fd38871/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
