62-66 Brock Street is the last remaining modest tradesman’s shop in the downtown. Consequently, the street façade has been restored to the way it would have looked during the late 19th century. The exact year 62-66 Brock Street was built is uncertain but there is evidence that the land was developed as early as the mid-1820s. The original first-floor cornice has been replicated and the woodwork painted in period colours. Inappropriate signage has been replaced with tasteful overhanging signs.

On 31 December 2001, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation acquired this early brick-faced frame row building from the Estate of Dr. David H. Merrit Hall, CD. MD, LCol. as it believes the building needs to be preserved. More detailed information about its stewardship can be found here.
