Overview

"James Miracle, one of the early settlers in Mount Hope obtained most of the land that now fronts onto Homestead Drive in 1845. Shortly after he subdivided the property into smaller lots and sold them for $100 each. In 1854, the subject property was sold to a Sons of Temperance organization who subsequently built a Temperance Hall on the property. The construction style and materials of the hall were not determined in the process of preparing this report. The organization owned the land until 1903. In 1903, the Township of Glanford purchased the property from the Sons of Temperance for $200. A year later Glanford Hall was constructed as the township council hall." (pp.9)
