Notes:

Hymmen Bros. & Chamberlain, Hardware, Stoves, Pumps, etc., King Street - The hardware trade in Berlin is one in which a large amount of capital is invested, and in which employment is furnished to many hands. The goods handled are those in use in all building operations, houses, stores, offices, etc., and consequently the demand is large and the field of operations extensive. Among those actively and prominently engaged in this line of industry is the firm of Messrs. Hymmen Bros. & Chamberlain, whose business has been established for the past six years, Mr. Chamberlain having been admitted a partner last spring. The premises occupied are large and commodious, being 20x124 feet in dimensions, where a large and well assorted stock of hardware, stoves, pumps, tinware, hot-air furnaces, cutlery, etc., etc., is carried in profusion. The firm manufacture their own tinware both from order and for stock. They give employment to 8 competent assistants and skilled workmen, and use one team for the delivery of goods to customers, who come from the town and surrounding sections of country. The business since its inception has been constantly improving and still steadily increases, the volume of business transacted this fall being very large and in advance of former years. All members of the firm are natives to Canada, and imbued with all the business characteristics which have made the country such a successful commercial one. They are held in the highest regard by all who know them.

August and Charles Boehmer in the sixties owned a hardware, stove and tinware store at 58 East King Street. In 1874, they began manufacturing paper boxes, after selling the hardware stock to C. E. Moyer and the tinware shop to Peter and Henry Hymmen. Hymmen Bros. first leased quarters in the Canadian block from J. Y. Shantz, and later on in the Germania block. Hardware and plumbing were added to their lines. In 1892, Peter Hymmen bought his brother's share. In 1906, he opened up West King Street as a business section, erecting a large block at No. 158. Mr. Hymmen was active until shortly before his death in 1930. Prior to his departure, his sons, H. I.. Hymmen and Homer Hymmen, had been their father's associates and now direct the enterprise. After Henry Hymmen left the firm he was for four years with H. Wolfhard & Co., and then bought C. E. Moyer's hardware stock. He carried on in the Dunke block until 1900, when he was appointed superintendent of the waterworks. George Potter, who for many years had been with John Fennell & Son, bought Mr. Hymmen's stock, and is still doing business at the old stand.

Former Mayfair Hotel and Hymmen Hardware in Kitchener's Centre Block are designated by Kitchener City Council

December 15, 2008

Former Mayfair Hotel and Hymmen Hardware in Kitchener's Centre Block are designated by Kitchener City Council.
On November 24, a representative of the North Waterloo Region Branch, made a brief presentation to Kitchener City Council in support of Heritage Kitchener's submission to designate 11 Young Street, the former Mayfair Hotel and 156-158 King Street West (P. Hymmen Hardware). Both buildings have cultural heritage significance. Happily, City Council passed a motion to designate these buildings.

In its statement of cultural heritage value, Heritage Kitchener stated that the exterior condition of both buildings is good. Concerning the former Mayfair Hotel, the report states that the building has an historic association with prominent Kitchener business man Edward Lippert,who in 1905 built a 3 storey structure for his furniture and undertaking business, as well as other buildings in the downtown. Lippert served as a city councilor in the 1930's. This building is of a Renaissance Revival Style, a relatively common style for commercial buildings of the period; in 1929, three storeys were added in art deco style which was popular in the 1930s. The two styles blend well.

Here is a quote from the report:"contextually, the former Mayfair Hotel makes an important contribution to the downtown streetscape. Apart from the replacement of windows and minor alterations to the façade at street level, the building appears as much as it did in 1929, and adds to the visual and architectural continuity of the historic main street. It was the tallest building (at six storeys) in the downtown following the construction of the 1929 addition and continues to occupy a prominent location on King Street."

Regarding , the former Hymmen Hardware Building the report states that it "makes an important contribution to the downtown streetscape. Apart from the replacement of windows and minor alterations to the façade at street level, the building appears much as it did in 1909, and adds to the visual and architectural continuity of the historic main street… the façade shares the same construction and architectural detailing as the original three storeys of the former Mayfair Hotel…."

Congratulation to Heritage Kitchener and the Heritage Planning Department for your success!

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT KITCHENER RAILWAY CROSSING

C. N. R. Train On Wednesday Evening Hits Motor Car Driven By Homer Hymmen, Killing His Wife, Son, Ward aged 13, and Severely Injuring Husband and Sons Keith and Eric, and Maid, Sarah Leis.

One of the worst level railway crossing accidents in years occurred at the Lancaster street C. N. R. crossing at Kitchener at 7.10 o'clock Wednesday evening. June 24th, when Homer Hymmen's car was struck by a train, carrying it for about fity feet and throwing it into the embankment, turning the car completely around. Ward Hymmen, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mra. Homer Hymmen of 95 North Queen St.. who was seated beside his father, had his right arm practically torn off above the elbow when he was found by Dr. Hamilton, who immediately severed it. He also suffered a fractured skull and died at the K. & W. hospital about four hours later.

The lad's mother, Mrs. Homer Hymmen, was rendered unconscious and was rushed to the hospital suffering from severe injuries to her head and body. She regained consciousness some time after reaching the institution but the shock was too much for her system and she passed away Saturday morning. Keith Hymmen and Eric Hymmen. aged 12 and 10 years respectively. brothers of the dead lad, were also rushed to the hospital. An X ray taken showed that the former had a fracture of the right leg below the hip and right arm while the latter was badly shaken up and may be suffering internal injuries. The father, Homer Hymmen, suffered two broken ribs, but refused to go to bed, being greatly distracted by the distressing accident. Miss Sarah Leis of Wellesley maid in the Hymmen home, suffered several fractured ribs and a severe. shaking up. An X ray was taken to determine the extent of her injuries.

Did Not Hear Bell.

The Canadian National train had just left the Kitchener station, and released the brakes, starting to increase its speed when it approached the crossing giving the usual warning by whistle and bells. The Hymmen car and another car almost opposite, driven by Andrew Bruder of New Hamburg, approached the crossing at about 20 to 25 miles an hour. Hymmen apparently was intent on not striking the motor car alongside of him and owing to the noise did not hear the whistle. The driver of the Bruder car saw the danger first and stopped but Hymmen, when he saw the approaching train, swerved sharply to the left. The train, however, hit the car in the centre, throwing the occupants into the embankment. Mr. Hymmen was the first to recover an immediately inquired for his family, most of whom had been thrown farther up the track. The injured were rushed to the hospital by private motor cars on the arrival of Drs Hagmeier, Gillespie and Hamilton. The train crew comprising Conductor Ward, engineer Ross and brakeman Penerley, gave all possible assistance.


Bert Mitchell of Waterloo and Herman Schenck, who resides near the crossing were eye witneses of the accident. The latter stated that there had been many near accidents at this crossing, which should be protected by a watchman or gates.

Inquest Held.

The inquest ordered by coroner Dr. Kalbfleisch was held on Tuesday.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH IS VERDICT AT HYMMEN INQUEST

The coroner's jury which met Friday brought in a verdict that the accident at the Lancaster St. crossing where Ward Hymmen and Mrs. Homer Hymmen were fatally injured when struck by a C. N. R. railway train was accidental and that no blame could be attached to anyone. It was the opinion of the jury that owing to the heavy motor traffic on Lancaster St. and taking into consideration the number of accidents that have occurred at this crossing, this jury request the crown attorney to ask the Dominion Railway board to provide more adequate protection as soon as possible. Members of the train, Homer Hymmen, Drs. Gillespie and Hamilton and several others gave evidence.
