Within a short time, this Imrposing structure will be tomn down w ith the area converted to «a parking lot u.ntil such time as the Bank of Montreal decides to construct a new building on the corner. The building bas had an interesting career. First it was used as a post office, later converted to the library, with upstairs offices being occu- pied by the town's Board of Works and. several other occupants. Soon it will be a mass of rubble. The familiar town dlock probably will be missed more than*any other part of the structure.
