Historic Building

Andy | Wednesday, May 16, 2018 | Best Blogger Tips
Originally the "Liverpool Arms Inn", now known as "Liverpool John's Pub & Restaurant", was built in 1878 by Robert Secker. In it's day the Inn was a 14 mile journey from Toronto and a popular stop on the King's Highway for those travelling between Toronto and Kingston. The four corners where the Inn sits was called Liverpool Corners. An ad in 1929 offers rooms starting at $1.00, first class dining, short order lunches and great fishing only 1 mile from the hotel.

  1. Magnificent building, nice architecture of 1878 and good framing

  2. I still have the feeling that the green extension is of a much more recent date.

  5. Oh, I love this place. What a super looking building. I'll bet it is very cool inside, too. Have you ever eaten there?

  6. A lovely looking building. I like its history, must have been a nice place to stop in back in the day.

  7. That's an attractive building with the newer part blending in well, don't often see that.
    Nice capture and interesting history as well.

  8. I remember as a child being driven past this empty building, hoping it would be restored to its
    former glory one day. The glassed in porch is an addition and complements the original structure. My hopes
    have come true. Thank you Andy for posting.

  9. I can imagine that building before the porch was enclosed, or perhaps without it. It's holding up well for its age. (Funny...I was in Kingston, Washington today.)

  13. I'm guessing originally the glass windows at the front weren't there and that it was a brick building. Nice to read the info about it though
