- Notes
- Albion Cottage was built in the 1820s by John Vance Boswell, brother of Judge George Boswell. In 1867, Boswell sold the house to Colonel Chambliss, an American who had moved to Cobourg that year to become Manager of the Cobourg-Marmora Railway and Mining Company. The house was destroyed by a fire in 1879. Following the fire, Chambliss built a much larger house, which the Cornells purchased in 1890 and renamed "Hadfield Hurst". In 1929, the property was purchased for use as a private girls school and once again renamed to Hatfield Hall. It operated until 1951.
