NEW BUSINESS BLOCK ON EAST MAIN STREET

Hugh A. Rose Will Erect Modern Brick Building to Replace Frame Structure

[Welland Telegraph, 18 April 1913]

              Another old frame structure on East Main is to be replaced by a modern brick business block. Hugh A. Rose is having plans prepared for a two-storey brick block, which will be built on the site of his present office building.

             The new block will have a frontage of thirty feet and will extend back from the street a distance of seventy feet. The first floor will be divided into two stores and several suites of several offices will compose the second floor, one of which will be occupied by Mr. Rose, himself.

             Building operations will be started about the first of June and it is hoped to have the block completed by the end of August.

             T.L. Nichols in the architect.
