This two-storey building on Main Street in Manitou was constructed in 1888 for businessman Harry Bowler. It was the first brick building in the town. Later a store operated by Alex Bethune, through the years its main floor has been used for an implement dealership, post office, hardware store, and flower shop. On the second floor was a meeting hall that has since been renovated into residential space.
