AS IT USED -TO BE—It was sometime between 1872 and 1881 that M.Y.
McLean and the staff of The Huron Expositor stopped work for a few
Minutes and posed in front of the Expositor's John Street office for this
picture. Mr. McLean is the second from the left. There is n� indication as
to whether the two young lads on the right are apprentices or just
spectators attracted by the, cameraman. The building owned by Bob
Beuttenmilierhas been used for a number of years and was removed last

One time Expositor shop
torn down for parking
Another link with Seaforth' s early
history disappeared last week when a
frame building on John Street west of Bob
& Betty's was removed.
Unoccupied for a number of year the
building had deteriorated to n point where
h feared it would become a hazard. Bob
Beutenmiller of Bob & Betty's who owned
the building said the area would now be
available far customer parking.
Erected in the early 1860's. the building
xas occupied by the shoemaker shop of
McIntyre and Willis. In 1872 it was
ccCupied by The Huron Expositor who
moved from the third floor of the building
now occupied by Becker's Milk. The
Expositor continued to occupy the John
Street location until 1881 when it moved to
the Main Street location it continues to
cccupy.
In more recent years and until the early
Sixties, Gordon A. Wright Woodworking
used the building.
