In 1903, local photographer John Lautenschlager purchased the Block. Municipal Clerk, William "Lawyer" Miller, also occupied this building. Other businesses included: a Cash-and-Carry grocery, a Singer sewing machine store and Willis piano agency. Walter R. Hostetler, town Councillor and reeve, ran his dairy here, which included pasteurizing and bottling lines. He later added an ice cream and dairy bar in the front section. Ward Cockerton took over the dairy delivering bottles door to door from 1950 to 1971. (2017). Wilmot.ca.
