Description
At the time of photographing, the building was home to "Canadian Bakery". Mr. & Mrs. Streit were recorded as owners. The building was estimated to have been built in 1870.

The photographs show written on the awning over the storefront, "232" "Canadian Bakery" "845-4191". The last picture shows the street with the London Life building and cars of the era.

An ad in the June 12, 1974 Oakville Beaver is for the Swiss Canadian Bakery and Pastry Shop - click on the link under the blue card image in this record to see this ad at the bottom of the newspaper page.

This ad identifies Mr. and Mrs. Streit as Fred and Lisa.

In the 1988 Bowers Street Directory, this store houses the Swiss Canadian Pastry Shop and Cafe.

In January 2021, the store is a women's clothing store, "She Is".

Notes
In 1971-1972, Parks Canada photographed those buildings that were 100 or more years old. This Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings was a Centennial Project.

The Trafalgar Township Historical Society has worked with Parks Canada and Library and Archives Canada to find these photographs in the area of Trafalgar Township and the city of Oakville, Ontario. The collection will grow as we have time to collect and prepare the images.

The TTHS has sent the images to the Town of Oakville Heritage Planners to increase local availability and to ensure local preservation.

Each TTHS internet record will show the back of the identifying information card first. This is to prevent any errors in reading the handwritten address held up on a clipboard for each address - we have noted that sometimes the address number is illegible or incorrect.

All TTHS records in this collection can be found in one step by clicking on the "Groups" link on the right of your screen, "Parks Canada. Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings, 1970-1972. Trafalgar Township & Oakville."
