If one can avert their eyes from the tall, majestic, arched window about seven or eight feet away, the photograph applied to the office window is fascinating: on the far left is the former Union Cemetery (now Waterdown Cemetery) up on Vinegar Hill; then, the John and Ada Vance house on Board St., which became the CPR’s Waterdown South station (destroyed by fire in 1966); moving to the right, it’s the old Dundas St. bridge over Grindstone Creek; and, finally, the 1870 Eager house, which was owned by the family for three generations.
