Heritage Value

16 Hugh Street is associated with Edmond Booth, a baker who operated a bakery on Main Street in Milton. 16 Hugh Street is a good example of a vernacular style in the Town of Milton. The residence has a rubble stone foundation with a red brick exterior. The roof has a medium gable roof with projecting eaves. The windows feature segmental window heads with brick voussoirs and wood window sills. The entrance is covered by a gable porch, which is located off centre on the east gable. The porch is enclosed on its three sides with lattice panels and has a round arched doorway with a keystone. The original four panel entry door has shaped glass in its upper panels.
