Rising just 10-storeys, this intimate building’s base is grounded in the history of the original McGibbon Hotel. As a tribute, the classic 1890’s red-brick base and facades have been restored to act as the podium for a cascading series of residential units. Contemporary sandstone units rise 7-storeys showcasing 2-storey lofts at the top of the building. Expansive terraces are open to the elements, while balconies are nestled into the crenellations of the building’s form providing more protected outdoor space.
About the Project >>>
It begins with an appreciation for a neighbourhood, for heritage and honouring the past. At the same time, it’s also about recognizing being in the present and capturing the modern spirit of a dynamic location full of lifestyle inspiration. The magic is bringing the two together.
Owning the corner of downtown Georgetown’s main thoroughfare at Main and Mill Streets, McGibbon on Main condominiums breathe new life into this celebrated heritage site.
Embrace Yesterday, Create Tomorrow >>>
Georgetown was named after entrepreneur George Kennedy who settled in the area in 1821 and built several mills and other businesses. In 1856 The Grand Trunk Railway reached the community providing transportation to not only passengers but manufactured goods and the inspiration to open hotels.
The Hotel McGibbon was built and sold to Thomas Clark in about 1867. In 1895, brothers Sam & John McGibbon leased, in partnership, Clark’s Hotel for $600/year. The hotel, situated in the heart of the village’s business district, attracted travelling salesmen gathering for a merchandise roadshow called The Drummer’ Snack, which was held in Georgetown and the McGibbon Hotel was the headquarters.
The hotel included an icehouse which stored ice cut from the old Barber Pond. Fresh eggs and milk arrived daily at the hotel from a farm which Sam McGibbon owned.
