Historic Building:
In 1867, the Hamel family obtained a mortgage and constructed this dwelling in 1896. The Hamels sold the dwelling to Mr. John Hahn in 1904. Theodore Meyer, a distributor for Raleigh products for many years purchased the property in 1922. In 1942, the Meyers moved to another location and the dwelling remained vacant until 1964 when Willard L. Snider purchased the dwelling. The current owners, Philippe Elsworthy and Kathleen Elgie, purchased the dwelling in 1982.
In 1942 when the Meyers moved to another location, the single dwelling was converted to a duplex. The only major modifications to the structure of the house were the addition of a second staircase to the basement from the front hall and the closing of the bottom of the back staircase to the second floor. The attached two car garage was built in 1929.
The house is a 1 ½ storey Queen Anne styled yellow brick house on a fieldstone foundation. The trim is partly beige aluminum and partly wood, the wood being painted in a strong pumpkin yellow and hunter green with highlights in beige matching the aluminum. On the first storey there is a large rectangular window with a rectangular transom light. Within the peak of the gable is a decorative device in the form of an internally toothed arch. The arch is decorated with applied scrollwork and circular piercings following the line of the eaves, with the opening crossed by a turned horizontal piece and a turned vertical centrepost. Small brackets support the entire toothed arch.
At the rear of the house, there are two chimneys with corbelled tops visible. One is on the rear of the main house, and one on the rear of the rear projection. There is a third chimney with a third roof peak including a decorative arch on the north side.^1a
