Long Description:


Built in 1886, this two story building on the main street is typical of commercial buildings of this era in Petrolia.

An 1880’s by-law required all buildings to be built of brick – a result of the many fires that plagued the oil fields and refineries adjacent to the town centre – and this has helped ensure their survival.

I know this block well as it’s home to the local photo shop.
