- Description
- This is photograph of the Munn/Fleming/Hays family farmhouse was taken in the 1980s. At this time, it was owned by the Hays family. It stood at 32 Dundas Street East, Munn's Corners, Oakville (Lot 15 Concession 1 SDS, Dundas and 6th Line), facing Dundas on the south side of the street, just east of the intersection.
As per the Town of Oakville Heritage Planner in 2016: In the 1858 Tremaine Map, this house is shown as a taller brick house. After a fire in the 1930s, much of it was rebuilt with a lower roofline, new windows, etc. The brick quoins remain but the house was quite altered.
A link to a sketch of the old house is included in this record for your information.
Area teacher Alexander Fleming, married Millicent Munn on December 30, 1914. They lived with Millie's father (King Henry Munn) on the Munn family farm and raised their family in this house. The family also owned land on Lot 14 1 SDS and Lot 15 1 NDS. Robert Dewart Fleming, son of Alex and Millie, in turn managed the farm and raised his family there.
A link to another photo taken in 2003 is also in this record for your further information.
R.D. Fleming sold the farm in the mid-1950s. It was then owned by the Hays family. The land is now a subdivision. - Notes
