The Hands Homestead was on the east corner of Main Street and Church Street. Main Street ran south from Huron Church Line to Detroit Street where it became Bedford Street. Church Street ran west from Huron Church Line to Main Street. It was built in 1780 and then partially destroyed by fire, January 1st, 1900, before being re-built the same year. The land on which it was built was originally part of an Indian Reserve. |
