History
This site was home to the Canadian Office and School Furniture Ltd. from 1884 – 1987. In the 1920’s owners changed and they became the Preston Furniture Company. Some of the old factory elements still exist, such as the stone wall in the front of the building and large green barrels in the back. In 1992, it became an affordable housing site serving the community.
