Notes:

King Street

Foundry [Ontario Street] to Queen Street- Almost the whole of this block was a spongy swamp, with willow trees along the edge. Cattle could scarcely go into it as they would sink. Up to 1850 there was no building up to Gaukel's Hotel at the corner of Queen Street. Along the street front there was an elevated sidewalk erected on cedar posts with stringers. The sidewalk was about six feet wide and high enough to enable boys to explore underneath as, of course, they used to do. About 1858, Osborne Spiers & Co., erected a three-storey brick building, later known as Spiers' Block, on the Foundry Street corner. The building contained two stores fronting on King Street, one occupied by Wm. Spiers as a grocery and wine and spirit merchant, and the other a dry goods store first occupied by Mr. Stanton and later by W. H. G. Knowles who had been clerk at Stanton's.
