History

Bygone Days – The Crawford-Post Furniture Store

This image, taken in approximately 1957, shows the exterior of the Crawford-Post Furniture Store. This was shortly after Bill and Olive Post of Simcoe, Ontario bought the business from Don Crawford.  The building which is located at 28 Main Street West was constructed in 1946 by Gary Hogarth and Fred Graham.

When the furniture store closed, the building was home to successive businesses including a grocery store and the local LCBO, the latter of which relocated further down the road on Main Street East.

Currently, the property houses Green Heart owned by Kingsville’s Mayor Dennis Rogers as well as an Airbnb rental on the upper floor.
