This unassuming duplex in Cambridge dates back to 1838 and is actually one of the city's most important historic buildings. It was originally situated on Dickson Street in Galt, around where City Hall sits now. This was the Dumfries Township Hall, built only 16 years after the Village of Galt was carved from the woods at the edge of the Grand River. At the time, Dumfries Township included settlements such as Galt, Branchton, St. George, Glen

Who remembers visiting the Reporter building on Ainslie Street? When I was around 10, it was a regular Saturday morning visit to drop off subscription money collected from my delivery route. Many years later, I worked in the advertising department during the final years of the Reporter's existence.

First, I want to give a shout out to the good people at Waterloo Generations who have a lot of great information on many of our historical settlers. This post is on two of them, Ephraim Munson and his wife Lucy. As is referenced on the Generations' website, the couple are mentioned in James Young's History when they play host to Absalom Shade and possibly an Indigenous Guide, in July of 1816. According to the story, Shade was checking out the Cambridge memories

Who remembers shopping for records here? The shop on the left of this funky mid-modern Main Street building was the home to Records on Wheels during the early '80s. It was definitely a favoured hangout for me and the place where I started my ever-evolving collection. The RoW store later moved to a spot on Ainslie St. Before closing for good in the early '90s. An interesting note - the geometric facade above the shops is a false front, as

The James Young Block on Main Street in the Galt area of Cambridge was built in the 1870s. The yellow brick facade stands apart from the granite buildings that surround it, most of which were built 20 years earlier. All of the buildings on this block of Main Street replaced earlier wood-framed shops that were destroyed by a large fire in the early 1850s. They represented a growing prosperity in the burgeoning town. James Young was a
