108 Gill Street

This Queen Anne Style home was originally a small cottage built in 1895 by the Riberos family. Then sold in 1896 to the Farrington's enlarging it in 1897 creating the house we see today. The Farrington's lived in this house until 1909 upon Mr. Farrington's death and Sadie Farrington* who rented it. In 1943, Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe S. (Mary ) Maxwell purchased. Maxwell was the owner of the Maxwell pharmacy and soda fountain which was a popular congregating place to wait twice a day for the mail to arrive via train located in the Smith Arcade where the Post Office was until 1958. 

*Sadie then moved to the house at 413 Retta Esplanade.
