- Notes
- William Smith settled on lot 21 of Broken Front Concession in Whitby Township in 1830 or 1831. In his will in 1859 he directed his three sons to erect a house. This cut fieldstone house was built in 1861 and became the residence of Thomas H. Smith. It was later owned by the Bonnetta and Hanna families. In January 1990 it was dismantled, stone by stone, and moved to Cullen Gardens where it was never reconstructed. This photograph was taken at the time that William Hanna lived in the house.
