Notes:

In December when NVC [Nith Valley Construction] was preparing for the new foundation of the building along Mill Street, they found some soft non-native ground next to the original foundation of the hotel. They dug out the soft ground and at the bottom, they found a circular metal ring that looked like it was the base of some sort of barrel. the ring was severely rusted and it fell apart. They backfilled the hole and poured a concrete block on top to support the elevator. Based on the depth that they found this ring, I believe it belonged to the blacksmith shop that was located on this spot from 1858 to 1870. It was owned by Franz and Josephina Berger...
