A building on the ground level with a veranda extending its length occupied by Dr. James Whiting, during 1855-60.

A garden.

A stretch of forest, hardwood and pine, from Louisa to Wellington Street, with some pine trees at the corner of Shanley Street, where is now Casper Braun's house. From Wellington Street crossing somewhat diagonally over vacant land, was the way from Waterloo to the Grand Trunk Ry. station in Berlin. At the northwest corner of King and Wellington Streets, there was a hotel with a large barn, used by teams from the country. A Mr. Proudlove built the hotel. It was later occupied by Levi Weber and after him by Henry Glebe.

A one and one-half story frame building, facing King Street, with a brick building in the rear and a large barn along King Street, the location later occupied by H. L. Janzen. Open space somewhat wooded, to the Grand Trunk track. East of the Grand Trunk there was a swampy section which, in wet weather, became almost impassable. It was not unusual for farmers' wagons to be stuck in the mud of the road.

Huber and Ahrens occupied the corner as a store and had a warehouse at the rear. The first section of the American Block was built in 1862. It contained a hotel with entrance on Queen Street and stores on the King Street front.

A meat shop occupied by one Schaefer and later by Crozier. This building was later occupied by Von Ebenau, a German toy dealer. He also built some sidewalks for the village in 1857.

A long two story frame building originally used by C. Ahrens as a barn and later by John Jacob Woelfle, a plough maker, who had a shop at one end and lived in the rest of the building. He had worked in the foundry on Foundry St. and after this shut down started his own shop. The building was later occupied by Rev. Jacob Wagner, who died there.

In 1858 a two story frame building was erected by Louis Breithaupt as his office and leather store. This was the first building on this site.
