This clapboard house, built in 1885, is an excellent example of what may be the most typical and
wide-spread style of domestic architecture in Ontario. It has seen little change from its 1800s
original form. The family of William George Ham (Who had been a member and captain of the
Fire Company), owned the house for 72 of its 114 years.
William Dunbar, owner of the lot in 1885, was a prominent merchant in the years 1880 to 1905 in
the Village and was the grandson of the founder of Dunbarton. The house is designated under the
Ontario Heritage Act.
