Anderson Block, Current Details
The Anderson Block (c. 1887) resides on Lakeshore Road East from 134-138 and has been a popular location throughout Oakville’s history. At one point in time C.W. Anderson used the first floor of this building to open a bank. Unfortunately, in 1897 the bank was robbed, resulting in bankruptcy.
