Plan 92, registered in 1891, shows this as a 10-acre property, owned by John O. Hope, and that his ownership was registered in November 1884. A Farms and Farminghouse built in 1884 may be incorporated into the present house. J. O. Hope is listed in the 1897 Voters List as a Merchant on Lot 3, Elizabeth Street. This property had been sold in 1892 to Richard Graham Baxter, whose father was Thomas Baxter, the grain merchant and general merchant who owned Baxter's Wharf and Farms and Farminged the land at \"Balsam Lodge\" on what is now Queensway Drive. Richard, the only surviving son, lived at \"Balsam Lodge\" for a time after his father's death in 1876 and continued in the grain merchant business. He also opened the first bank in Burlington, located at the corner of Brant and Water Streets. He was active in local politics and served as both Reeve and Warden. His widowed mother, Amanda Baxter, bought Chestnut Villa, the house now know as Brants Landing (2220 Lakeshore Road). In 1893 Baxter sold this property to Ellis Hughes Cleaver, a Barrister who lived in a house built circa 1890, now 2063 Caroline Street. The 1897 Voters List includes [his son?] Thomas Cleaver, a Fruit Grower, on Farms and Farming lands on New St. In 1900 the title of this property passed to Thomas Cleaver & wife. 1903 Assessment Roll: Thomas Cleaver, Gardener, age 41, New St Lot 93. 1 acre. Sold in 1909 to John Wood, widower; in 1912 to Sarah Wilson, wife of Felix Wilson; in 1914 to Louisa Jarvis, wife of James E. Jarvis. Murray Fisher, in \"Farewell to the Garden of Canada\" (1984), shows the Farms and Farming as owned by \"J. Jarvis. retired fruit grower, Ontario government fruit inspector, and his son, C. Jarvis, market gardener\". 1915 Voters List: James Jarvis, Gardener, Lot 93, New. 1919 Sewerage Works Plan: J. Jarvis. 1919 Voters List: James Jarvis, Gardener, and Louise Jarvis, MW, Lot 93, New St. Their son Charles Jarvis, Gardener, and his wife Annie Jarvis, MW, are listed as living at 1252 Water St, and a Charles M. Jarvis [retired] Gentleman, at 1206 St Paul. 1922 Telephone Directory: J. E. Jarvis and Chas. W. Jarvis residents (separately) on New St. 1924 GOAD Map: 16 New. Shows the one-and-a-half storey \"Auto\" garage, demolished in 1994. 1927 Voters List: James Jarvis, Inspector, and Louisa Jarvis, MW, both Lot 93, 16 New. 1932 Burlington Directory: Louisa & Mildred Jarvis, Owners, 16 New In 1939 the Farms and Farming was sold to Jemima Peacock, widow. Sold from her estate in 1948 to Evelon Bernice Hall, who maintained a productive vegetable and fruit garden in the rear of this large lot and later operated the Evelon Beauty Salon from her home. In 1992 the property passed to the Hall estate; sold in 1997 to Michael James & Christine Somerville. ARCHITECTURE: The fine proportions of this two-storey brick structure have been obliterated by the alteration of the attic into a third storey with outsized dormers. One of these dormers projects off-centre from the hipped roof of the projecting front wing, above a second-storey arched double window and a first-storey bay. The second level of the front verandah has also been altered: it would have balanced the bay roofline with its supporting eaves brackets. The replacement steps and door conceal the original spaciousness of the front entrance. Rampant ivy adds to the \"sleeping beauty\" aura of the house. The interior of the original part of the house was at one time spacious and welcoming. The curved stair railing is particularly good, and in good condition. Interior partitions have been added. The original 10-inch baseboards, cast iron heating grills, and door frames have been retained. The large rear addition on a concrete block foundation was perhaps at one time a separate residence. Under the insulbrick, the coved clapboard siding is quite weather-worn (in the section that is visible). This addition is generously fenestrated with good ready-made windows, perhaps from Nicholson's Lumber. The board-and-batten-clad frame Coach House, set on a stone foundation at the end of a raised drive, is picturesque - with its saltbox profile, central gable and arched two-over-two sash windows - but not in good condition. (1992). It was demolished in 1994. ENVIRONMENT: Evelon Hall, who bought the property in 1946, maintained a productive vegetable and fruit garden at the rear of this large property (since subdivided for residential development). The landscape of the front garden area in 1992 had many heritage features, notwithstanding the loss of an enormous tree during a storm in 1991. Two specimen trees of particular interest were the Laburnum and the Basswood. The stand of Norway Spruce along the west boundary and the shrubs and traditional perennials were also worthy of preservation. Since the house is set well back from the street, the front garden could have accommodated a circular entrance drive as well as a partial screen of shrubs and perennial beds. USABILITY: Modified by Evelon Hall for use as a commercial beauty salon and multiple residence. Modified again by the new owners in 1994, apparently for single family residential use. INTEGRITY: The 1992 Document (based on a site visit by Ken Layfield and Jane Irwin) recommended that restoration of the brickwork, the rubblestone foundation, the roofline, original windows, and other details, would be eligible for heritage restoration grant money if the building were designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Rejacking of one supporting beam was recommended. The house was renovated inside & out in summer of 1994, with modern replacement windows.
