Field_Panels FIELD FAMILY 1793 - 1880 JOHN FIELD & MARTHA WOODBURY 1800 - 1857 This house was once on the NW corner of King and Third Streets where Victoria Hall is now. It is thought to be the first location of John Field's dry goods store. Later it was moved to Bagot St and then to its current locale on William Street. It is a simple Georgian house in style. The front gable, lancet window and verandah were later additions 1830 - 1898 CORELLI C.

E. 184 ONTARIO ST. - 1931 This is the home of John Field and Martha Woodbury and family, who arrived in Cobourg about 1832. This vernacular home has Regency features and an unusually short transom over the door. It is also remarkable because descendants of John and Martha are still occupying the house to this day. As of 1921, this rare example of the use of cobblestone, was the home of Dr. George Henry Field and his wife Mary Gearing. Dr. Field was chief surgeon at Cobourg's Military Hospital in WWI and the first permanent resident to own a car (1901). In 1902 Dr Field purchased part of the D'Arcy Boulton block, 41 King Street East, (see the Boulton family chart) and ran a sanitarium there. This Gothic Villa, known as "Avalon", was at one time home to Edward C.S. Huycke and his wife Rose Field. In 1903, the property included a large community skating rink. The Huycke family later moved to Peterborough where he became a judge and moved into the home of former Cobourg area resident, the Rev Mark Burnham. At the turn of the century Fred Field and his wife Olive Wood lived in this Ontario cottage and ran a teahouse. A little later, their daughter Lenah Field Fisher, turned it into the Marie Dressler Restaurant which was Cobourg's finest dining establishment at the time. The first family to own this Regency cottage was the Eyre family whose daughter Jane was the lost little girl immortalized in Susanna Moodie's "Roughing it in the Bush". In 1911 Judge Frank Field and his wife, Abbie McClennan, purchased the home. This was the home of Lenah Field Fisher until her death in 1980. Lenah is most remembered for her e�orts to save Victoria Hall from demolition. This "gentleman's cottage" was constructed in the Brunswick style of laying wood planks widthwise and stacking them. Corelli C Field bought this Victorian cottage from the Hon. Sydney Smith. Corelli and his brother John ran Field and Bros. Dry Goods Store once their father retired. The building on King Street where they had their store has been demolished. The Honorable William Kerr and his wife, Myra Jane Field, added the wide Gothic barge board and finials to this house when they purchased it. In 1905, on these lawns, the Kerr's daughter, Edith, married Donald MacDonald with Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier as a guest. Edith later became the first woman to hold a municipal o�ce in Cobourg. This Ontario Vernacular Cottage was built by Nathaniel Horton who married widow Catherine Hamilton. Her son John A. Hamilton married Mary Ann Field. The house was later passed on to John and Mary Ann's daughter, Catherine Myra Hamilton, widow of William David Burn. Alan Field 's Colonial Revival home was designed by an architect and built as a wedding present from the parents of his bride, Eleanor Armstrong. They lived across the road, and the house next door, at 235 Albert Street, was the gardener's residence. John Field combined this Georgian style building with a three-story block he built in 1858 and made them into a hotel. This part, which is all that remains, once housed Sinclair's Saloon. The prominent Gothic gables are a later addition. In 1919 Thomas Field Hall, descendant of the original John Field, purchased the site. This Edwardian Classical home with Tuscan details was owned by Thomas Field Hall and his wife Edna Pringle about 1932. The removable storm porch for winter was once quite common.
