Spring Cottage, Crescent Rd, Hamilton,1940. Back in 1854, a man named William Sheehan paid 54 pounds, 17 shillings and threepence ($109.72) for a large block of land on which Spring Cottage stands. Fast forward to 2014 and the block has been subdivided numerous times, but the house built in 1874 by another man, William Bishop, remains.
