The Sterling Bank of Canada built this grand building on the corner of Brock St and Toronto St in 1919 and later became the home of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
According to Wikipedia , The Sterling Bank of Canada was a Canadian bank that was incorporated in 1905. In 1924 The Sterling Bank of Canada merged with The Standard Bank of Canada which then in 1928 merged with the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

Pictured above is the Uxbridge Arena built in the early 1920’s. It was located on Marietta Street, where the Seniors Centre is today. Following a hockey game in 1935 the building burned to the ground.

In this aerial view you can see the arena that replaced the one that burnt down. On the right side of the photo you can see the curling rink, which is still in use today. To the south of the arena was a large soccer/recreation field. The UxPool now sits to the south of the curling rink.

The Uxbridge Arena and Recreation Centre was built in 1978.
Pictured above is the present day arena (2021). The Uxbridge Arena and Recreation Centre was built in 1978. In 1997 a second ice pad was added. The facility in winter is home to a variety of hockey and skating clubs and programs. During the summer it is used for lacrosse and large events.
Over the years more recreation facilities have been added to the area surrounding the arena. The area now features the Uxbridge Lawn Bowling Club, The Bonner Boys Splash Pad, tennis courts and a baseball diamond.

The above photo taken from about 1908 looking south along Church Street to Toronto Street shows the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. The church was opened for services on February 1, 1885. Originally constructed as a Gothic Style church, it featured ornate towers and spires.
The above photo was taken from same vantage point today (2021). Most of the original Gothic elements are gone, St Andrew’s Hall has been added to the north side of the building, the street is paved and the canopy of trees were removed long ago.

Over 100 years later looking north on Spruce Street we can still see the Uxbridge Train Station. The Revere House hotel has been replaced by the Masonic Lodge, which was opened on June 4, 1962. Apartment buildings line both side of the street today.

The photo above was taken in May 2023. The train station and the apartment buildings were almost totally lost during the May 21 2022 tornado. In this photo you can see the trees that lined Spruce St are almost all gone.

*Some values may vary slightly based on the exact date and time the reports were generated.
Buyers are actively out looking to buy but with the lack of new listings buyers are having to compete for properties. Because of this competition we are seeing an increase in the number of properties coming to the market with offer dates. This is increasing the number of properties selling at or above asking price again and without conditions.

The Gould-Carmody House

The Gould-Carmody House (Late 1850’s)
The Gould-Carmody house was built in the late 1850’s by Joseph Gould, the first local MPP who had a major influence on the growth and success of Uxbridge. The house stayed in the Gould family until it was sold to William Carmody in 1914.
The house and farm where located just north of Uxbridge Arena and at the west end of Maple Street (my childhood neighbourhood). As a kid this was the edge of town. In 1988 the house was moved to the Uxbridge Historical Centre to its present location to make room for the present day Quaker Village subdivision.
