Hillcrest Trading Co.
Hillcrest Trading Co Erected in 1921, this grocery and butcher shop was first operated by Mary and Steve Janostak. Other owners kept the name Hillcrest Trading Company which stayed on the building until it ceased to be a grocery store in 1975.

To the right of this building was the P. Burns and Company meat market, built in 1923 to replace their store on Taylor Street. After becoming Cressman's Red and White store and butchery, it was bought by the Hillcrest Trading Co. in 1952 for use as a warehouse. The building was torn down in 2005.
