• Michele Norton wow! where was this located?
•  Around where the Kentucky chicken was I hear mr mrs. clearance Bain ran it .
  •  dont know when the dairy moved to Maple and 7 was their in 56 building is still there dentist office and around the back where horses went is a lawyers office
• It was downtown on main street.. The Dairy was where The cross street apartments are now - The entrance to the parking lot beside Goodfellas - The bell tower in the back ground was the old town hall/fire department.
•  - it sat where the Canada Trust building is now. Because it was the former Rail Station, it had to be on flat ground for the trains.
• This is the Norton Building, built by Al Norton, still owned by Ross & Terry Norton, to my knowledge.
•  at 1 time was this building not the police station ? in the late 50s?
  •  I'm not sure.. I know there was one on Mill street where the doctor offices are now
  • early 60 s in building beside Golden Fish and Chip . Police Chief Bud Lowe ..
  • other side of the street ;)
  • Do you remember if the Georgetown Hydro and Water office was at the back of the same building?
  •  no only remember it down by the old post office across from Steens
  • Town Hall was across the street between Wigo TV ,Golden Fish and Chips, Comfi Furniture and the TD bank. The cop shop was at the back of our town hall.
  • AT one time the emmerson brothers [JONNY & JIMMY ] had a tool & die shop in the back of it
  • what’s they large building on the hill looks like a church
  • it is the old town hall. It burned down not long after I took that picture
  • The bell is now in front of the fire station 10 side road and 8th line.
  • I believe the building you are referring to was the municipal building, the Town Hall was on Guelph St. across from the old fire hall. I remember going to many events there back in the 50’s.
• Anyone have the old sign...?
• It was also the Chrisian Reform Church for a while too.
• My first field trip from Chapel Street school was to the Dairy. Ice Cream at the end of the trip.
• The tracks and Radial Railway station were right there back in the 20s
•  remember this building went down to get milk for my mother a few times
• We renovated the Dairy for The Christian Reformed Church. It was beautiful inside.
   What year did it burn down?
  
• Did not know it burned down Richard. When we lived in Cadaro's Apts we would play at the side of the building. At one time they kept a horse behind it. Cadaro's Building burned down.
• Would this be where Canada Trust was?
• Yes 
• I think the building on right was where Mrs. Livingstone sold her baked goods.
  • Yes  & the Taxi. Can not remember who owned it. Stu Simpson was a driver.
  • I think ABC Taxi, owned By Rick Braisbys Dad.
  • Kent Robinson that taxi stand was owned by Jack Morrow, his first venture in the taxi business, I can remember being there with my brother who was friends with Jack, it was a regular hangout for the "boys".
  •  Thought maybe that is who owned it but not sure. Thanks Bob.
  •  Livingstones bakery was in the next building to the south!!
  • Thought so...thanks
• Best chocolate milk ever.
•  The bell on the top of the old town hall behind the dairy is now in front of the Fire Station at 10 side road and 8th line.
• I cant place this at all
•  Me either
• The Old Dairy ?
• Where was this & when did it burn down?
•  I vaguely remember getting a taxi with my mom when we shopped downtown. I recall a wood walkway at the front. Am guessing late 50’s.... I would have been around 4. Somehow I remember it being next to Silvers Department Store.
  •  I just remembered something when I read Silvers Department Store. My mother was friends with Thelma Nash, Jerry Nash’s mother. We were about 5 years old, and for some reason all dressed up. It had been raining that day so the slanting front of Silvers was still wet. Jerry & I started sliding down the slope from the front door. We were told many, many times to stop, which, of course we didn’t, both of us fell at the same time, covered in dirt & rain! We both got spanked!
  •  I now recall Jerry’s name was spelled Gerry.
  •  A group of guys borrowed the milk wagon one Halloween and tried rolling it down Main St. hill. 1960 or so.😳
  • And would you have been one of those “group of guys”? 🤓
• I remember the dairy but I've been away so long I can't remember where it was
•  remember the dairy but I've been away so long I can't remember where it was
•  did not move into town until 1965.
• I remember when it was a dairy in the mid 50’s . We had our milk delivered by horse and dairy wagon. The stable was in the basement at the rear of the building. It was later converted into the Georgetown Christian Reformed Church.
• I remember the horse being in an open stable behind the Dairy. Would visit it every day.
• I lived close by on Main St north and spent many hours in the bushes along Back St And in the yard next to the dairy.
•  Lived in Cadaro's Apts . Very near next door to the Dairy. Used to play in the bush behind Main St. with the stream running through it.
• That was before they made the parking lot by filling it in with garbage the whole parking lot was a dump at one time lol
• As a church, we had our Youth gatherings in the stable.
  • Was it still open Clara or had they closed it in probably.
    • It was closed in and made it into a decent meeting room. The inside of the Dairy was totally remodeled and it was a beautiful church. The meeting rooms were at the front. I miss that building.
    • I remember every Saturday morning about 7:00 am in the 50's running out on street to feed the Milkman's horses sugar cubes.
•  Is this the dairy that Mr. Tyers owned?
