14 Main Street North - George Brownett, shoemaker, built this store in
1855, typical of local commercial buildings at that time. It still has its
original wood -board exterior. Over the years the store has been home to
shoemakers, a watchmaker, a butcher, and a woollen shop. Today is is
home to a ladies' clothing store.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Last week we announced that Bill and Carol
Stephenson, of Varna, were the winners of our
100th Issue Celebration Contest. The contest
encouraged people to get out in the village and
find the houses and buildings that matched the
doors, windows, and fancy trim shown in Week 23
Issue 1003his week those homes and buildings
are revealed.
All of the featured houses and buildings are over
100 years old and eight of the ten are featured in
the Bayfield Historic Walking Tour booklet
released in Jan. 2010 and now in its third printing.
The booklet is based on notes of a Guided
Walking Tour composed by Elaine Sturgeon,
volunteer archivist from 2001-08. These notes
were revised and expanded by Dianne Smith and
produced by the Bayfield Historical Society, Ralph
Laviolette, current volunteer archivist, and Dave
Gillians, then historical society president. Its
production was funded by memberships,
donations and a grant from the Huron Heritage
Fund.
The Historic Walking Tour booklets are now
available for $5 each at the Bayfield Archives
Room on Main Street or by calling 519 565-2454.
The booklet is in a 5.5 X 8 inch format and
includes a map at its centre. The booklet was
created to compliment the Bayfield Historical
Society guided walking tours that depart from the
Bayfield Archives Room every Saturday morning
at 10 a.m. during July and August.

building was built as a combined residence and store
by Donald Fraser in 1855. For over a hundred years
a general store operated in this location under a
variety of owners. From 1947-73 the post office
could be found in the west corner. In 1952 a car
crashed into the left side of the building destroying
the beautiful windows with delicate mullions that
can still be seen on the right half of the building.
The building has a rich history. It is said that a

I came to Bayfield 25 years ago for a summer job opportunity and never left. Many village residents have similar
stories — the community has some sort of gravitational pull — maybe the lakeside cliff is magnetic?
From Canada Day to Thanksgiving this is probably when the attraction is the strongest and it is when our community really
shines. For Canada Day we ease into the calendar slowly with a beef barbecue, bike rodeo, book sale and outdoor movies.
Then the next weekend the summer schedule really gets rolling. We've got the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale, Play Day,
Firemen's Breakfast and Vettefest in the works and those are but the highlights.
I guess what I like about Bayfield is despite the hectic pace we sometimes set for ourselves you can always go to the nearest
ice cream stand, order a double dipped cone and partake in the icy treat as you stroll slowly along tree lined streets sharing
summer dreams with a friend or two.
But beware that old magnetic pull. It is sure to draw you to Pioneer Park to watch the sunset. - Melody
