Moments in History
Built in 1870, #73 Main Street S. was part of Clark’s Hotel and was constructed as an addition to the existing hotel at the corner of Main and Mill Sts. The new building was constructed by Mr. Tost of Stewarttown at a cost of $5,000. This new portion was opened by a ball in early December of 1870. Stores included in the building over the years include J.A. Wilson Jewellery Store and R. Nixon’s Pharmacy.
Original/Past Owners include: R. Jones, Thomas Clark, Samuel McGibbon and Jack McGibbon
