(#33) 92 North Street / c.1885 / Samuel George House
Main House
This two story, pedimented gable front, south facing vernacular house has a one story wing in the rear. There are two, one-story, 1 x 2 bay additions with hip roofs on the east side of the building. There is a molded cornice separating the store front from the second story. The store-front has a central entrance flanked on either side by plate glass windows. The remaining replacement windows are 1/1 double sash, except for the 6/6 windows of the east elevation additions. The foundation is stone; the wall structure is balloon frame; the roofing is slate. There is a central brick chimney.



(#33a) 92A James George Auto Garage /c.1935
To the rear of the house is a flat-roofed, 3 x 3 bay vinyl-clad garage. The structure has one overhead sectional door and a pair of double-leaf doors. According to the 1899 Burlington Directory, Patrick Mulqueen, an employee of the Booth Lumber Co., was one of the earliest residents. By 1924, Sam George lived here and ran a grocery store. In the 30s and 40s, James George sold auto accessories and probably built the large garage to the rear of the house for his business. Mrs. Anna George lived here until 1951.
