Henderson Block

Built in 1899 for Henderson Brothers wholesale druggists by architect George W. Grant, this building is typical of commercial buildings built around the turn of the twentieth century. The second half of the building was occupied by Ames-Holden Co. Ltd. of Montreal, wholesalers who sold boots and shoes to local merchants.

By 1911, the commercial centre had moved to the west and south, and this building became the home of theatres, photographers, and real estate firms.

In 1926, the Henderson Block was the home to the Swiss Consulate, the Omack Club, Beaver Pool and Billiards and the Pile Drivers, Bridge and Dock Builders Union.
