A message to Pro- vincial Officer Harry `Wright from ;Brech1n states that he was in a tmotor accident in Texas and that lhis companion was killed.

History of Simcoe Hotel - F irm_l_g_Linkec|1 with Barrie ski Frame Building stood` `on A The Present Site 70 .% g % Years Ago L OLD DAYS RECALLED Vhen Board and Room were $3 a Week--Full Meals Cents T The five Points," and there- fore Barrie," would not look right without the Hotel Simcoe, with its commanding and snugly tting V-shaped position in the heart of the town. Neither would Barrie : history be complete without that of this hostelry, for they are in- delibly linked together. No chron- ology of events as to the exact years this hotel was owned and _ operated `by the various landlords is available, but it is known that it was built seventy years ago by late John Dunlop. It was a frame building with pretentious sta-bling and shed accommodation extend- ing from Bayiield "to Clapperton streets in the rear of the hotel proper. It was burned to the ground in 1884 when it was`own- ed by Michael Shanacy and leased to Con. McLaughlin. -The latter was accidentally killed shortly after when a team of horses ran away on Bayeld street, in the very shadow of the hotel. The news of theyburning of the hotel was gotten to Mr. Shanacy, who was in Toronto, and he came all the way in a forced drive with- -horses, and was in Barrie before the smoldering ruins of his hotel hadgdied out. Mr. Shanacy built the same year the present solid brick substantial hotel with its 15?-inch walls, and it was well . built. A I1 1.1.1.. nuulu nan-n11! #917 "A HIGH! `"8 DUNE All this was nearly fifty to seventy years ago,` but there are still plenty of people in Barrie who can remember most of these events. 1.. non L1... 7.1-4--1 .QIvvanAn mg: avenues. In 1889 the Hotel Simcoe was purchased -by the late John Ness, who died: ve years ago, and it still belongs to his estate and is managed by his son-in-law, V. `S. H-ambly. As stated before, the hotel was well built and is just as olid and substantial as the day the corner stone was laid. In- side the hotel, however, it is an entirely different proposition. The one thing that stands out in the interior is the excellent taste us- ed in decorating, the arrangement of the rooms and general home- iike appearance of the hotel. This is only natural, for it now caters to tourist and commercial trade. In the old days it was the rendez- vous of lumbermen and farmers. It has had to put its house in or- der to meet a new condition of affairs and by reason of the per- sonal oversight of Mr. and Mrs. Ha-rnbly, it has succeeded admir- ably. - . I W I. L, L`l__ -1.` J4-.- Ut-raga Getting back to the old days, of pleasant memory to the hotel- keeper and others of two and more generations ago. Barrie is shown as the hub of the county, much as it is today, but with the horse stage as the chief means of transportation instead of the train and the automobile. The trip from Toronto was made by horses, and later the southern ter- minal was Bradvford, when the steel had reached that town. Coach lines branched out in all directions from Barrie. The trip to Orillia was made along the old Lake Shore Road, and it was made without change of horses. But on the trip to Collingwood, Stayner,was the half-way house and to Penetang horses were changed at Hillsdale., There was no Midland, except a mill or two at Dollar Town. Shanty Bay was considered quite an important place because of the lumbering activity and a very considerable part of tradingwas done in the eastern part of Barrie for that 1638011. VH1, - 51...--- f_'f-u-.. -.1-unn n T533011: The Slmcoe House played a very important part in this net- work oftrtmspartation, for it not only offered excellent hotel ac- commodation, but unexcelled stdbling and shed room, "possibly the most essential asset to .a hotel in those days. 1171.... 1.1.4. Ind-A Tnhn `Mann 4|-An`! In muse uuys, When the late John Ness took over the Simcoe he held a lease on _the Wellington Hotel; then known as the.'Misc~ampbell House. Across the road was the Somerset` House, -on the corner now occupi- edby the Standard Bank. There wasa firm of liverymen in Bar- rie then, Weaymouth & Miller, who had as many as seventy horses at one time. The old Beaver, with its lake .route from Bradford to Fisherman's Point and Barrie was also an important factor in the transportation of the early days. - ' e The late Mr. Ness did not con- duct the Simcoe Hotel continu- ously, although he u never sold it. In the nineties he1eased the Sim- .~.oe and purchased a business in Owen Sound. It proved very re- muneratlve, for he was an astute husineu man. With` the advent of and fell to the platform. He was rushed to the hospital. He is 52 years of age and his_ home is in Toronto. A new Pontiac coupe and the garage in which it was housed, the property of James Dennison, insurance agent, Collingwood, was destroyed by fire. Both were insured, but a second car, which su ered $200 damage, was not. The cause of the fire is unknown. Only a short time ago some un- known cut up the upholstery of Mr. Dennison s car with a jack- , knife. . ` Thomas Jenkinson and Mrs. Mary Malcolm, of Collingwood were sentenced to two months each in the County Jail. Jenkin- son s permit showed that he had purchased 41 quarts of liquor. since-Nov. 25 -last, besides much beer. `He has not worked forover local option in Owen Sound 3e returned to `Barrie. Twenty- e years or so ago he purchased the privatehome of J. Henderson, `Be11evue," where Mrs. Ness, his John Ness was actively in the harness until 1916. ` widow, still resides. The late,` T sAw MANDAURELS mu` TO `ORDER AND KEPT IN ` srocx \ .-:1--1':-.old"`le`dge-r_ot the Simcoe House, dated 1889 and succeed- ing data. One accoun-t shows the wholesale price of whiskey to have been $1.89 a gallon. Room . and board was $3.00 a week and in 1892 was raised to $4.00. The individual accounts of the board- ing years, contains some interest- ` ers show this. Waitresses and` ` chamber maids were paid $8.00 a month, -board and washing. Meals were 2`5 cents each, and they were wonderful meals. In `those days the `cheese, biscuits, pickles and catsup at all times decorated the dining tables. The men of those days, Mrs. Ness recalls, had won- derful appetites. Some men, com- ing in oil a long drive, would eat the cheese, biscuits, pickles and drink the catsup before the wait- ress had a chance to bring in the soup. The table would be cleared. as if by magic. Saturday receipts] of the Simcoe in those days, the old ledger shows, ran as high as $1,500 for one day. Barrie was a busy place. People ocked here and couldn t conveniently get out. There were not the paved roads and automobiles of today. wuu vu-uvv---vw--v- v- -v.....,. Some of the boarders at the Simcoe in those days were the late Dr. R. A. Ross, whose office was on Elizabeth St. Fred Hewson was another, and R. H. Hender- son, who had: room No. 1 for f- teen years. Other boarders were William Sheppard, William Sulli-_ van, Geo. Sidsworth. Johnny? Dickey, a well known character, was hostler. 1}u?'ti}Le good old days are: gone never to return. The Simcoe' House is quiet, orderly and home-[ like. Visitors, for instance, are not welcome to bring their fam- ilies with their lunches to eat in the parlor. They are not welcome ; and they don't have to, for they can get horne quickly in their cars.. No loiterers are wanted in the lobby in the Simcoe or anyl other hotels now. Signs on the walls tell you that. The passing of the bar has wrought many changes and nobody -blames the hotelkeeper for the position he has talgen, His house is public only insofar as paying guests are concerned. Hangers-on are not wanted, for the hotelkeeper of to- day has,to get down- to brass tacks. The Simcoe House has sized up the situation correctly and \ has demonstrated- that a hotel, without a bar, can be run successfully. Nor are people go- ingltovbe allowed to make a `bar out of the hotel. But that is only another legacy of the new order of things. %%%$$%%%%$$%% DISTRICT NEWS &&&&&w&w&$m&& X % & H4 % The alvation Army served 200 meals New Year's Day to the needy of Collingwood. `D A ouunn van a1nII'Al` Mnvnr IIBEOX DI uUuuI5'wuuu.
