Notes:

King Street , North Side

Pine Street.

Open space with gravel pit at the rear and a lime kiln where now is the Waterloo water tower. The gravel pit was operated by Frederick Hagen. About 1860 a brick dwelling, still standing, was erected in front of the lime kiln and occupied by Mr. Glady.

Opposite the present Collegiate Institute, Rev. W. F. Bindeman had four acres on which he erected a dwelling near King Street. He had an orchard some of which is still bearing fruit. His house is still standing, but he later moved to Young Street, where he died. His Young St. house was later occupied by Frederick Von Neubron. Rev. Bindeman moved on a Sunday on account of a fire which had started in the Greenbush across the road. It was a strong fire, fanned by the wind, so that a large part of the Greenbush, which was nearly all pine, was destroyed. The Berlin and Waterloo fire brigades, working conjointly, eventually got control and prevented the fire from extending across the road to the pine woods there. Rev. Bindeman's house did not burn as had been feared. It was later moved further toward the water tower where it is still standing. Its first location was in front of the present Carmel Church property.

The first well in this locality. It was about 70 or 80 feet deep. Before it was sunk, in 1840, local dwellers had to go up King Street about half a mile to where is now Bauer's shoddy mill, in Waterloo, for their water supply.

A two story frame building, cottage roof, erected by Benjamin Rothwell, in which lived, for a number of years, a man and his wife, who had come from Germany. This man also was a wood turner, making kitchen utensils such as spoons, ladles, etc.
