Notes:

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.

The members of the first Berlin band, organized in 1855, had rooms on the third floor of the building and met there for practice, Next to Spiers Block there was for many years a vacant lot and next to that a small, one-storey frame building with gable toward King Street, ten feet back from the street line, used by Wm. Brown, the first stone cutter and tombstone maker in Berlin. He was also painter, paper-hanger, glazer, and dealer in marble and stone. Next to this, about 1856, Lelinen Brothers had a frame building one storey and a half high, occupied as tinsmith shop and store for tinware, the shop being at the rear. In 1860 this building was replaced by the Snyder Block, a narrow, three-story brick building. Frederick Snyder, who had been apprentice at Lehnen Bros., had this building. He was very industrious and in the habit of working until one and two o'clock in the morning when he came to own the business.
