Built for Thomas Houghton, this two-storey brick building continues to
be used as a retail store. In 1907, it was the premises of M. A. Vigor,
millinery store. It has been covered with stucco, the cornice was
removed and the shop front replaced.
In 2009, it is the site of a hairdressing salon.
This Hallmark Society project has been funded by the Hbc Foundation and the BC150-Heritage Legacy Fund.
