John McDonald Block From the heritage plaque: "This fine limestone block was built by local retailer John McDonald sometime previous to 1859. It boasts one of the earliest and best preserved store fronts in the town. In addition it is on or near the site of the first log stores erected in the town, back in 1843. In the 1800s the store was run most notably by G. B. Smith and later, for a time, by the White and May firm. In the 1900's the store was known as 'Parsons Fair'. This could be the longest continually operated retail building in St Marys." |
