Baxter Commercial

Cornelius Baxter purchased the property in 1893, constructing this building soon after.  Baxter, an 1873 Scottish immigrant and coal miner, owned the 11-room Hawley House, a hotel just to the west (demolished).  His daughter, Agnes Burns, operated a café in the building, one among numerous cafes housed here over the years.  The building later housed a bike shop and a barber shop.
