142 Main Street North

This two-and-a-half storey red brick residence was built c.1890 by John Prudham. Mr. Prudham was the farm implement dealer for the Waterdown-East Flamborough area. He used his house as his office where he took orders all winter from local residents for new machinery and equipment to be delivered to the Aldershot Railway Station early in the spring. Once all the farmers had collected their equipment from Aldershot they paraded back into the village, stored their horses in the hotel stables, and enjoyed a big banquet hosted by the implement agency. This building is noted for the two storey bays with tent roof, and the one storey verandah accented by decorative gardens along John Street.
