Description du lieu patrimonial
258 Wellington Street is situated on the southwest corner of Wellington Street and Cambria Street, in the City of Stratford. The three storey, metal clad industrial building was constructed in circa 1914.
The property was designated, by the City of Stratford in 2004, for its heritage value, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 73-2004.
Valeur patrimoniale
258 Wellington Street was used as a flour, feed and seed mill by O.H. Killer. Killer owned several other businesses in Stratford, most notably the Mansion House Hotel. 258 Wellington was also used as a warehouse by Harry Shapiro, the founder of Hudson's Men's Wear. Shapiro operated stores in Stratford, Woodstock and London.
258 Wellington Street is a good example of an early 20th century industrial building that has evolved through time. It was originally designed as a mill with a post and beam skeleton and horizontal wood cladding. It is now covered by a corrugated metal skin. Many of the original 6-over-6 sash windows remain.
