The house was bought by Mr. Ward of Semmens, Evel & Ward Casket Manufacturers for $7,300.00. Mr. Ward lived in the house until 1897. By that time the name of the cross-street on which it was located had been changed from Maiden Lane to Jackson Street.
Judge Colin Snider was the new owner of the house and he lived there until his death on July 8, 1939. The house remained vacant from 1940-1942. From 1943 to 1951 the owner was listed as Mrs. Della Cullen.
In 1951 the Players' Guild of Hamilton Inc. bought the property and have owned it ever since.
In 1958 we added the rehearsal hall to the south side of the building. The only other structural changes to the building during our tenure were the removal of the large front porch, the grey paint job on the outside of the building and the bright red front door.
This is our home.
