Eber Millson House (Lot 27 , Conc. 7 , Darlington)
The Eber Millson House, dating from 1884, is an imposing red
brick home and is a very fine example of the Queen Anne Revival
Style. The property on which the house stands has been in the
"Millson family since at least 1861 and the present residents are
direct descendants of Eber Millson. This house is recommended
for designation because of the following architectural features
of the exterior:
1 . the round-headed windows, characteristic of the Queen Anne
style
2. the polychromatic brick work (buff and black trim)
3. the ornate gingerbread in the gables
4. the verandah on the south and porches on the east and west
sides
5. the original chimneys which curve inward at the gables
6. the bay window with its .decorative brackets and trim
7. the attached driving shed at the rear with its peaked gable
and gingerbread trim
8. the original slate roof
The house retains its original floor plan and the following
interior features are also recommended for designation:
1 . the entire ceiling of what is presently the dining room
(originally a front parlor). The quality of design of the
decorative plaster work is exceptional and it remains in good
condition.

"r°ount Sackwell North" (Lot 7, Conc. 3, 'Nest side of Side Road
This house was probably built c. 1855 and the 1861 Tremaine map
of the County lists Edward Prout as the owner of the property. This
storey and a half brick home is recommended for designation for the
following, reasons:
1 . it has a notable semi-circular fanlight set over the front door
just below the eave line
2. it retains the returned eaves
3. the six over six glazing remains intact
4. it retains a fine front doorway flanked by moulded pilasters
and surniounted by an entablature and overhanging cornice
5. the front door is surrouded by a rectangular transom of coloured
glass and the sidelights feature fine Regency glazing
6. the interior floor plan remains largely unaltered
7. the original pine floors remain as does the kitchen wainscotting
and the 15" baseboards in the front of the house
8. the wide detailing of the parlor windows remains
9. there is a finely turned cherry bannister on the front staircase
10. on the east side of the rear wing are the remains of the original
board and batten siding of the enclosed porch.

William Ormiston House (Lot 29, Conc. 8, Darlington)
The Tremaine' s Map of 1861 lists William Ormiston as the owner
of this property. This fine Gothic centre gable house dates from
c. 1855. The verandah on the front of the house is not the original
but it is probably an accurate reconstruction of the original one.
This well-preserved house is recommended for designation because it
retains the following features:
1. the centre 'gable with its lacy gingerbread
2. the original o.g. arched window in the gable
3. the unusual transom above the front door which features the
arched gothic motif
4. the sidelights on the front door with their rectangular glazing
5. the returned eaves
6. a fine tin ceiling and original wainscotting in what is currently
the parlor and the original_ wainscotting in the lower rear wing
of the house.

Richard Souch House (Lot 3, Conc. 2, Darlington)
The P roperty known as Lot 3, Conc. 2, in the former township of
Darlington was purchased by Richard Souch in 1848, and remained in
his family until the 1920's. The brick home on the property dates
from c. 1850. The house is representative of the 1 112 storey brick
F�
houses which were built in this area in the middle of the 19th century.
It has a symmetrical 3 bay wide facade and the front door is surrounded
by transom and sidelights which originally would have been glazed in
a simple rectangular pattern. The present day garage, on the •east
a side of the house, may have been built on the site of an earlier
building, perhaps the original farmhouse. The setting of the house -
well back from the road and at the end of a winding lane - enhances
i its visual appeal. This house is recommended for designation be-
a
cause it is a representative example of a design based on the Geor-
gian tradition and because it retains the following features:
1 . the original 6 over 6 windows on the first floor
2. the returned eaves
3 the original basement windows whose lintels have been executed
Y
in the same fashion as -those on the first floor..

11P Concession St. 'd. , Bowmanville
The house known as 14 Concession St. W. , Bowmanville, dates
from approximately 1850, and exhibits many classic character-
istics of the Gothic Revival Style. It is a pleasingly propor-
tioned house with a three bay wide fagade and a centre bay which
projects slightly. The house is constructed of red brick, with the
exception of an enclosed frame section on the rear wing which was
probably once a verandah. This property is recommended for desig-
nation because it retains the following features:
1 . a fine o.g. window in the front gable
2. the gingerbread in the gable and a turned finial on the
gable peak
3. rectilinear glazing in the transom and sidelights of the front
door
It. a columned front porch surmounted by a distinctive railing
5. the original 19th century paint on the vertical buff pattern
on the fa;ade as well as on the quoins
6. the original 6 over 6 Windows
7. the turned brackets under the eaves on the west side of the
read wing
