The Hideaway

In 1907, Roger Mercier bought this property and built a saloon which he operated for a number of years. It was occupied by a pool hall and smoke shop until 1927 when the Sedaris brothers bought it from Barney Burton to have for rental. In 1928, Dr. Dworsky and the Winter brothers purchased the building for their bowling alley. It was later occupied by Robert Cole for a bar and Harry Kowblyk who had a portion of it for a barber shop. In 1935, the Dove store moved into the building following a loss of their store from fire in the Charles Klabundy building. The Dove operated here until 1968 when the building burned. B.J. Music was the first tenant in the new building.
