In November 1957 the Uxbridge Times Journal moved from its Brock Street location to its new building at 20 Bascom Street. At this time the paper was owned by Per & Leila Hvidsten. The main floor of the new building had a room to display and sell office supplies and typewriters, office space and the Hvidstens apartment. The lower level was home to all the printing press machinery.
The building became home to the Township offices on the main level and the police department on the lower level after the Times Journal moved to its new location at 191 Main Street in 1975. Over the years the building was also been the home for a lawyers office and is now home to Chances Are.

Pictured above in 1968 is the Fred Cook Real Estate Office. The office was located behind the Library on the site of the old Bell Tower. The site is now the location of the Library addition. My parents bough the home I grew up in; in 1971 from Morley Bruce from this real estate office. In the aerial photo below, taken by Uxbridge Times-Journal reporter Graham Lightfoot in 1968 you can see the location circled behind the Library.

The building was originally opened in 1945 as an egg grading station by Silverwoods Dairy. In 1954 the township purchased the building and renovated it to be the first municipal office in the towns history. The township later sold the building in 1974 when the Region of Durham was formed. The building was then the home of the police station until 1999 when it was purchased and reopened as the Vintner’s Nook, a wine making and equipment/supplies store.
The above Google street view image shows the building in 2016 before it was demolished.
It was discovered that a contamination bloom had spread under the building from the neighbouring gas station and in December 2016 Shell Canada took ownership to take responsibility to clean up the property. The town council received many calls and emails from residents urging them to do something to save the building but it became clear that it would have to be demolished as part of the clean up.
In March 1960 Uxbridge curlers formed a committee to look into selecting a site and building a curling rink. 3 weeks later a site behind the old arena (now the site of the Seniors Centre) was selected. At the time the club had 129 curlers signed up for membership. In August the footings were poured and the new rink opened in November.
Below you can see the walls going up on the new rink and the finished building

Below we see the same veiw taken in 2022. The commercial buildings and houses are still there but have all had some exterior changes during the past 65 years.
