Re: Mystery store: 154 Talbot St W, Aylmer, ON

Re: Mystery store: 154 Talbot St W, Aylmer, ON

This was likely a small-town format Dominion store from the 1950s or 60s. It is consistent with other Dominion stores throughout small-town Ontario. For example, I have seen similar buildings in Prescott, Huntsville and Napanee. All of those almost identical buildings had the same slanted roof, all ...
