By-law No. 4667 SCHEDULE. "B" Historical Reasons: The building has a long standing historical and architectural importance to the Town. It was built by James MacPherson, a lawyer and he used it for his law office. Commencing in the early 1920's the north side was occupied by the Dominion Grocery Store chain and the south portion was occupied by Patterson's Jewe11ery Store. George K. Lampman purchased the building in 1937 but did not move his clothing business into the building until 1945, and at this time had a section added to the rear of the store by Mahood Lumber Co. Ltd. During the period 1937 to 1946 Percy and Florence Gregg had a barber shop and beauty salon in the south side of the store. The commercial building is now owned by Fraser Lampman, who has a dry goods store in the north side with the Kitchen Witch in the south unit. Architectural Reasons: This building is an outstanding example of Renaissance Revival Architecture common to may 19th century Ontario commercial buildings characterized by elaborate cornices and headers, arched windows and doors usually symmetrical in design and placement. The most notable characteristics of the facade include a stone front: a parapet with fancy wooden cornice with brackets underneath: arched windows with stone headers and elaborate keystones on the lower windows and doors. The south wall is of similar stone as the facade.
