• Notes

  Flash from the Past: Bridgeport Lofts site was a shoe factory [corner of Bridgeport and Regian streets, Waterloo, Ontario] In the mid-1940s, Sadowsky said, he started work at Hamel Broom, then located at 16 Noecker St., beside the Hamel family home. The plant was later demolished by the City of Waterloo so Regina Street could be extended north. At that point, Sadowsky, now the owner, moved Hamel Broom to the Laurel Industries building. One of his employees, John Davenport, bought the firm in 1989 and moved it to St. Jacobs, where it continues to operate today. A fellow tenant, Sadowsky recalls, was an elderly electrician named Percy Weissgerber, who sporadically found work repairing light fixtures and electric motors.
