- Notes
- This picture from the mouth of Factory Creek is not totally accurate, but is important for its representation of the Globe Hotel (in the centre near the Church of England). The Globe Hotel stood on the northeast corner of King and McGill streets. It was destroyed by fire in 1864 and the Hooey residence then occupied the site. In the 1940's excavation at the site turned up the foundation timbers of the old hotel. The building on the shore in the forefront is Butler's storehouse.
