193 George Street (designated 1988):
Built in 1863 by William Davy, this home is of brick construction and consists of a main building facing George Street and an attached section at the rear referred to as a “kitchen”. The wooden brackets under the eaves are simple and slightly curved and lend themselves to the simplicity of the design. The windows are symmetrically placed across the front of the house. The windows are topped with flat arches. Between the kitchen and living room are two Greek columns and another two straddle the fireplace in the living room. The hardwood floors have oak and cherry in them. The newel post has a flowery design carved into it.

GOLDEN HAWK
PLAQUE TEXT: This Golden Hawk aircraft was originally refurbished in May 1987 by technicians of the Aerospace Maintenance Development Unit and the Base Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Branch of CFB Trenton in appreciation of the continuing support provided by the City of Belleville. Many members of the team were too young to have worked on the F-86 Sabre during its active role, nevertheless, the memory of this great aircraft and the famous Golden Hawk acrobatic team lives on.
The Golden Hawk aircraft was refurbished again and completed in August 2014 by technicians of the Aerospace and Telecommunications Engineering Support Squadron, aided by technicians of 8 Wing Trenton, in appreciation for the continuing support provided by the City of Belleville. Although the team was too young to have worked on the F-86 Sabre while it was in active service, the memory of this great aircraft and the famous Golden Hawk aerobatic teams lives on.
MORE NOTES: The Golden Hawks were a six-plane aerobatic team flying F-86 Sabres. The team was established in 1959 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the RCAF and the 50th year of Canadian flight, which began with the Silver Dart in 1909. It operated out of Chatham. The team was disbanded in 1964.
The F-86 was built by Canadair in Montreal from 1948 until 1958. It was replaced with the CF-104 in the 1960s. A total of 1,815 Sabres were built in the Montreal plant, some ending up in West Germany, South Africa and Pakistan.

6 Willard Street (designated 1985):
Built 1849; single storied with a central doorway and one large window on each side. The facade features stone lintels, bush hammered with a chiseled margin, over the door and windows. The window sills are also bush hammered. Below the hipped roof is a dentil-like row of rowlocks, alternately projecting and flush with the brick walls. Wooden brackets under the eaves have been removed and are in storage for replacement at an appropriate time. The off-centre stone kitchen at the rear was probably built at the same time as the brick portion. It features a cooking fireplace at the west end. Walls and ceiling of this wing are wood panelling with a chair rail.
