THE MANSION HOUSE CHANGES HANDS
[Welland Telegraph, 22 January 1897]
It will be a surprise to many to hear that Mr. W.J. McCoppen did on Tuesday last dispose of the Mansion House. It has been known for a long time that he wished to retire from hotel life, but very few believed he would do so. However, on Tuesday he closed a deal with Messrs. Bristow & North, who took possession yesterday morning. Mr. John A. Bristow, the senior number, has been for some time connected with the Grand Central hotel, St. Catharines, and is a thorough business hotel man. Mr. James North is from Waterford, and recently has been engaged on the T.H. & B., residing in Welland, and during his residence here has made many friends. There is no doubt but what under their management the very high reputation that the house has always enjoyed will be maintained by the new proprietors. The first wise step was to secure the services of Mr. John Stewart as wine clerk, he being a well known and trusted employee in Welland.
