In 1834, when John Brant died suddenly of cholera, the entire 84 acre lot was purchased from the executors of his estate by Philo Bates, who was then 24 years old. Philo Bates had been a Captain of one of William Chisholm's ships, the Telegraph, and in 1830 he became the Master of the British schooner, the Peacock, which on one occasion loaded 2165 bushels of wheat at Burlington Bay. This property, the first parcel of land he sold, was bought in 1835 by John Atwood, who died in 1853. His widow Mary sold it to Hugh and Mary Cotter in 1855. Their son Franklin had been born in 1852. Frank's obituary in the 12 May 1915 Gazette noted that he had \"lived in Port Nelson all his life. He had been engaged in the lumber business for several years, did considerable sailing, and had charge of the Pine Cove baseball grounds and club house during the past season.\" Frank's son Eddie, born here in 1887, became Burlington's most famous marathon runner. Later the Cotter family lived on the south-east side of Guelph Line and Water Street, between the Post Office and the wharf. In 1877 the Cotters took out a large mortgage of $4500 with the Anglo-American Mortage Company, which assigned it to the Western Canada Loan & Savings Company, which foreclosed and sold the property to lumberman William J. Douglass in 1885. Douglass owned this property until his death in 1898. It was sold by power of sale in 1899 to Thomas W. Odell, a Mechanical Engineer, and his wife Martha. The Odells had become homeless when their earlier house made Gazette headlines in April 1899: \"Another Disastrous Fire Yesterday\". Burlington's then-weekly newspaper Documented that the \"large and handsome frame house ... value $1800 ... is a total ruin.\" The village volunteer firefighters had arrived too late to prevent its burning to the ground. \"Mr. T. W. O'dell desires to thank the many willing hands who rendered their valuable assistance during the fire which destroyed his residence last week.\" The next week's Gazette Documented that \" Workmen are engaged tearing down the remains of the O'dell residence on East Water Street ... eventually he will rebuild on his east end property.\" The rebuilding on this property proceeded very quickly. By mid-May, the Gazette was able to Document that Mr dell is making some very handsome extensive alterations to his new property in the east end. This undated and somewhat damaged photograph, from ca 1925, shows the east and north elevations including Thomas Odell's alterations, which have since been removed: the front verandah with a Regency-style roof and decorative wood treillage supports, and a three-story tower projecting from the centre of the front elevation. In 1914 Martha became a widow, but continued to live in the house. In 1928 Hughes Cleaver, a lawyer and one of the developers of the Roseland Surveys, became Trustee under a Power of Sale notice, and in 1936 he and his wife Ariel bought the property from the Town of Burlington under a Tax Deed. They lived here until 1959."},{"label":"Date","value":"ca 1925"},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1925"},{"label":"Title","value":"The Franklin Cotter - Thomas Odell house, 248 Guelph Line, ca 1925"},{"label":"Repository","value":["Burlington Historical Society"]}],"description":"The Franklin Cotter - Thomas Odell house, 248 Guelph Line, ca 1925","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/f7c2537d-5589-4f4c-b25c-6ba0e6ea38bc/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"The Franklin Cotter - Thomas Odell house, 248 Guelph Line, ca 1925","height":722,"width":1184,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/f7c2537d-5589-4f4c-b25c-6ba0e6ea38bc/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/f7c2537d-5589-4f4c-b25c-6ba0e6ea38bc","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":722,"width":1184},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/f7c2537d-5589-4f4c-b25c-6ba0e6ea38bc/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/f7c2537d-5589-4f4c-b25c-6ba0e6ea38bc/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/f7c2537d-5589-4f4c-b25c-6ba0e6ea38bc/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/qstarter29/iiif/logo"}
