Hespeler-JacobHespelersWoollenMill-001-1860s-HespelerHeritageCentre.jpg
Hespeler Heritage Centre: This sketch is from the 1860s before fire gutted Jacob Hespeler's Woollen Mill in 1869. Note the roofline; the building on the river was rebuilt by Isaac McQueston & Son in 1881. It later was acquired by A. J. Brodie Co. and operated as the Canada Woollen Mill. …. Note that there were 2 bridges on Avenue St. (Guelph Ave). The main one was over the Speed River and the other over the Mill Raceway between the stone buildings on right. Just below the dam was a spur rail line built by Jacob Hespeler to carried the goods from his complex to the RR Stn. on Sheffield St. The small building at the dam was his saw mill operation. The buildings on left were his cooperage & distillery.
