This building was constructed as the Queen's Hotel in 1860 by Shackleton Hey. At one time, it was called the "Temperance House," a place where travellers could stay without worrying about the "evils of the drink."
Eventually, the building was bought by the Bank of Montreal, which sold it in the 1930s to businessperson George Marks, who opened a restaurant.
George Pong ran a restaurant here until his death in 1974, followed by Orville Maynard, Bill and Faye Kydd, Bill Fry, and then Bob and Nancy Thompson, who named it the Pinewood Restaurant.
In 2009, the building was destroyed in a fire.
It is said that people would gather beneath this balcony on election night to hear election results read out, having received them on the telegraph across the street at the train station.
