Died:
Hart House and Hospital 24 King Street, Huntsville, Ontario.

Hart House was built 1893-94, designed by William Proudfoot.

Dr. Jacob Wilson Hart (1860-1924) came to Huntsville in 1886 and built a hospital on Chaffey Street. In 1902, Dr. Hart closed this hospital and moved to a new facility built at the back of his house with 36 rooms and offices. This hospital wing was closed in 1909 and stood empty until 1941 when Dr. Hart's daughter Marjorie used it to run a tourist home. The hospital wing was demolished in 1961 but the house is still used as a family home.
