  • Notes 
    • King Street Kitchener South Side

      Gaukel to Foundry Street (now Ontario Street).-After a vacant lot on the corner there was a one and one-half storey frame building with gable facing King Street, occupied by the late Frederick Gaukel in 1852 and 53, when he died there. The building was later moved to the corner and used by Mr. Woelfle as a plough shop. After Mr. Gaukel's death his executors built a one and one-half storey brick house for his widow next to the house just mentioned. This brick house was taken down by Messrs. Brown & Erb who built their glove factory on the site.

      Hall's Lane went through to Queen Street. There was for a time a blacksmith shop on the corner of Hall's Lane occupied, if memory rightly serves, by Matthew Strieker.
