From the commemorative plaque:
"The nucleus of this building was built for T. B. Guest in the 1850s; as such it stands as the earliest remaining hotel in St Marys. The present brick facade and Italionate cornice were added by J. W. Pierson in 1874. In 1886 the name Oxford House was changed to Grand Central Hotel. The store fronts were remodelled in the 1920s when the carriage-way leading to the hotel stable was converted into an additional shop."
E. Maginations General Store, a card and gift shop, is on the left of the photo; in the middle is Stonetown Travel and on the right is realtor, Coldwell Banker. Another heritage property built for T. B. Guest is at 142 Queen Street East.
