Morton Brothers Garage

61 Main Street

Morton Brothers Garage was located in the building on the south side of the Main Street just east of the community park.  

William and Howard Morton built the original building as a garage in 1935.  In 1939, that building burnt down and a new garage was built.

William and Howard were partners until 1961 when Howard bought out William’s share.  In 1968 William took over from Howard.  In 1971, Wilfred Harrison bought the garage. 

In the early 1980’s, George Poulton purchased the building and converted it into a gas station out front, a convenience store on the main floor of the building and apartments on the upper floor.
