26. Northwest Hardware Co. (1907)
213-215 W Holly St. and 1220-1222 Bay St.
The Bay St. part of the store was built as a hardware store in 1907 and
was acquired by Northwest Hardware, whose building on Holly St. abutted
onto it. The Bay St. store was sold in the 1940s to Bennett &
Provanche (B & P Distributors) wholesalers of tobacco, candy and
liquor. B & P occupied the building until 1974 and the successor
Bellingham Hardware then used the upper floor for storage. (Turbeville,
1977, pp.201-202.)
The upper floors of the Holly St. part of the store have been
converted more recently to condominiums.
