| "THE H. S. FALLS COMPANY STORE -- This
magnificent building at the corner of Norfolk and Robinson Streets, was erected in 1912.
The site will be remembered as the old Gore Bank corner and later the location of the
private bank of Duncan Campbell, Esq. The spacious quarters now occupied by the H. S.
Falls Company were rendered necessary by the gradual growth of the business down through
the years. The business was originally established by the late N.
C. Ford, and was afterwards carried on by Geo. J. McKiee.
The Ford Company first operated at the southwest corner of Norfolk and Peel Streets, later
moving to a site opposite the present Falls store." Also see: Harvey S. Falls, Falls Department Store Employees |
