On the south side is the W.H. Davy store (No 22): the former Royal Bank Building and site of
a daring robbery in 1946. One of the few limestone buildings in Bath, it was built in
1840-45 as a residence and store. Of special interest is the main entrance with its side
lights and elliptical transom, very similar in feeling to the Peter Davy House. The
structure has just been restored and repainted. Following along Main Street
we return to the Town Hall. It is well worth remembering that the block along the north
side of Main, between Davy and Lodge, was once lined with verandahed buildings destroyed
by fire in 1942. These interesting buildings in fact dotted much of Main Street. The
Fairfax Store (No 23) ca. 1820 possessed such a
double verandah and the smaller structure across from it (No 24) also had this type of porch. You arrive back at the Town Hall,
and conclude the tour. A number of other structures are worth mentioning: to the west of
town , the Old Purdy House (No 25), ca. 1841,
built by the operator of the Kingston-Bath stage line, the Caroline Fairfield House (No 26), ca. 1820's, two "Ontario
Cottages" (No 27) and (No 28) built by D.J. Forward in the 1850's, and the
Isaac Hough House (No 29), near the eastern town
limits dating from 1808.
