In the 1930s, there were a series of photographs taken of Queen Street for insurance purposes. This particular image shows the west side of the street. Buildings are addressed 4-12 Queen St. and show a general store (selling English dishware and Winchester Cigarettes), the Firehall (built in 1911), and G. Librock’s Stationery Store (selling tobacco, postcards and English china). These buildings still exist today. Unfortunately, the original firehall, in private hands at the time, burned down in November 2009. Thank you to the owners who rebuilt it as a replica. It helps to maintain the unique character of the heritage district’s main street.
