1941 HAMILTON'S "COTTAGE COUNTER"

Just up the street from 2090 Greenwood Avenue and the Hamilton Municipal building we found this ad for the "Cottage Counter." I immediately tried to place the actual location of that little Cape Cod restaurant, but not having been a traveler to that area at the age of 8 years old, I can't imagine where the building would have been located. Was it on the triangular point where Greenwood Avenue intersects with Nottingham Way? Was it located where the pizza place is today?

This probably was a building on the same side of Nottingham as the Bromley Inn, but toward the city. There was once a Mack Pizza there (buiding also housed a organ retail store at one time). The "point" at the intersection was an Esso station. Behind it, also with frontage on both streets, was Howe Nursery.

THANKS CANDY: AS I LONG TIME RESIDENT OF THAT AREA, I HOPED YOU WOULD READ THE POST YOU AND ADD INFO ON THE AREA. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN OF ITS LOCATION, YOU RULED OUT THE ESSO STATION.
