DescriptionReeve & Clarke Fine & Rare Books (former Frazier Shop) in which Timothy Eaton first worked in retail. Glen Williams, Ontario, Canada.JPG |
English: Reeve & Clarke Fine & Rare Books are located in the storefront of the former Frazier Shop in which Timothy Eaton first worked in retail in Glen Williams, Ontario, Canada. The Frazier Shop, built in 1847 by Thomas Frazier, is an excellent preserved example of an early Victorian commercial building. Also associated with Timothy Eaton (future founder of the T. Eaton commercial empire) who was hired to serve as a clerk and bookkeeper.
Timothy Eaton (March 1834 – January 31, 1907) was a Canadian businessman who founded the Eaton's department store, one of the most important retail businesses in Canada's history. Independent Free Press, Jan 19, 2011 Glen Williams Main St. buildings designated heritage properties The Town has designated as heritage properties, 519 and 521 Main St. S. in Glen Williams— one of them the shop where famed Canadian Timothy Eaton worked his first job. Council gave staff the go ahead at a recent council meeting to begin the notification process and by the end of December no one had appealed the proposed designation. Council ratified the designation at its Dec. 16 meeting. The properties are known as Laidlaw House (519 Main St.) and the Frazier Shop (521 Main St.). The current owners of the properties, Lynn and Brian R. Kennedy, requested the designation. According to a Heritage Halton Hills report, prepared by John Mark Rowe, the 1847 frame building (built by Thomas Frazier) at the corner at the Main and Prince Streets is the village’s oldest commercial building. Throughout its history it was a tailor shop, grocery store, post office, ice cream shop, among many other things. It was in its evolution as a grocery store that Timothy Eaton, a recent immigrant from Ireland, was hired to be clerk and bookkeeper. Eaton, who would become the future founder of the T. Eaton department stores, came to Glen Williams to live with his aunt Margaret Eaton who had just married a local man. James S. Laidlaw built the home next door in 1858 - it was always part of the same property as the store. By the turn of the 20th century it became the home of the Wheeler family, longtime Glen residents. The store was converted into Reeve and Clarke Books by the current owners,the Kennedys, while the house became the law office of Brian Kennedy. Rowe stated reasons for designation for the Frazier Shop and Laidlaw House are several including its design value as a Victorian commercial building and home, its historical association with Eaton, and cultural relevance to the community as a landmark on the Glen Williams corner. http://www.haltonhills.ca/calendars/2010/CS-2010-0099.pdf |
