Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1979-10-17, Page 15Remember a time when convenience meant nipping out on a cold winter's morning to purchase fresh produce at the store around the corner? When the big attraction was not a bright flashing sign but a warm fire with a few of the town's elderly gentlemen discussing the day's pressing problems? This atmosphere has been recreated in -a store which has been part of Denfield for over 100 years thanks to the hard work of Willard Green of London. Green who calls the store "the Old General Store" has his official opening Sunday which featured the author of "The General Store", a history of general stores in Ontario. Author Carol Priamo officially opened the portance to this Middlesex community hamlet as evidenced by the fact that Denfield's centennial celebrations were in reality celebrating the anniversary of the store, since the exact date of Denfield's inception is not known.

T-A photo 11111.11141 MIS new business in.the old pine structure. "I just happened to come upon the building," said Green who had operated a picture framing business in the forest city for a number of years. As one of the conditions for selling his business, Green could not start a picture framing firm ,within a 10 mile radius of London, The building was pur- chased in January from Frank Rosser with. a stipulation that the building be restored. All renovations were done by Green over a ten month period with the exception of the construction of the fire 'place. The building has been restored to an almost original state including the pine and maple floor. An interesting characteristic of the building is that it has a built in tilt, something which has been present since it was constructed in 1877. Prior to his purthase the structure had been used as a warehouse and TV repair shop. Green is a do-it-your-selfer right up to the roof which has been shingled in hand-hewn cedar pieces. In terms of future renovations Green said he might make the upstairs into some living quarters. Green's venture is a general store in the true sense of the word as he carries pure grape juice, honey in the comb, apple butter and' a new product, apple syrup. In addition Green will have for sale home pickled pickles and peppers which he and his wife have done. Ontario grown popcorn, nuts, sticke candy, local produce, and antiques can also be found in the store. Green will stay in the framing business and might add a unique twist; mail order framing.
