SCHEDULE "A"

Built in 1867 for Norman Hamburgh, a labourer, and his wife Sarah, and their family, this is a rare example of an historic semi-detached residence, and one of the few extant pre-Confederation structures in downtown Burlington. It remained in the possession of the family until their daughter Sarah Haney died in 1902. Part of the house was bought in 1913 by Mrs. Russell Smith, and remained in the Smith family for more than 75 years, until 1989. The modest but well-constructed house has been unspoiled by modern alterations, and retains its original windows, doors, wood trim, storm door, and the original gallery verandah supported by squared columns with decorative relief details. The one-and-a-half storey working-class house is a well known historic neighbour of City Hall, and contributes to the heritage environment of the historic Sherwood Inn (formerly the Queens Hotel) and the heritage district of Locust and Ontario Streets.

SCHEDULE "B"

Part Lot 8, Block X, Plan 92, Designated as Part 1, Plan 20R-12586, in the City of Burlington, Regional Municipality of Halton.
