Halton Hills is rich in architectural history Continued from pg. 1 keeper at the firm Sutcliffe and Webster which is now the village store, at 523 Main St. in Glen Williams. Eaton lived with his sister on a nearby farm before he moved to Toronto and opened the first department store in 1883. The property where St. Joseph's Church on Main St. sits was sold by Glen Williams' founder Benajah Williams to the Episcopal Methodist congregation which built a wood frame church. The building was bricked in 1903 and later a two-storey addition was added. One of the first buildings in the Glen to be designated a historic site was the original Williams saw mill, at 515 Main St. The mill is now home to creative arts studios.
