1818

1818 Map of Town of York lists Willcocks as owner/occupant

An 1818 map of the Town of York of unknown origin lists Maria Willcocks in Lot No. 5 on the north side of Duke Street.

The 1818 Phillpotts amp of York by Lieut. Phillpotts of the Royal Engineers depicts multiple structures on the site.

In 1817 Lieut. E. A. Smith produced a map of the Town of York that depicted structures comparable to other maps from this period. It appears that the same map was updated sometime around 1821-2, as another version lists “Campbell” and a much larger structure on the site.
