Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1974-07-18, Page 3Do you remember? by Jabez Rands (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations next year, Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the Town.) Do you remember when the Band Stand was on the main Street? The old Band Stand had a very disturbing life, as it was moved around a great many times. It was located on the Market Square in 1910 and in 1914 it was moved to a point of land 'between King Street and Isaac Street that is now occupied by the now closed Clinton Cab Stand, on the north side of Frank Van Altena's Barber Shop on King Street. Many a good band concert was presented at this location by the Clinton Kiltie Band and Huron's own 161 Battalion Band. The Band Stand stayed at this location for a number of years, possibly to about 1930. During Clinton's Old Home Week in 1925, the Band Stand became a very important place. Every evening at a certain time, Mayor Fred Jackson, along with the councillors and Old Home Week Committee members would have for- mer Clinton residents given a royal welcome. There was always a crowd of citizens around to help with the welcome. When the stand was moved from its Issaac Street location, it apparently was rebuilt into a much larger and up-to-date stand and it came back, this time to Library Park. During the 1940s, it was moved rom Library Park to the Community Park where it sat in front of the grandstand. Sometime during the 1950 s it was sold to Harold Taylor and he moved it to his property at the corner of North and John Streets, where 'he made it into a work shop. During the mid-1960 s, Dr. Alex Addison bought it from Mr. Taylor and moved it to hih farm in the Maitland block, where it still stands today, in use as a work shdp and a tool shed.
