This extraordinary vernacular Queen Anne/Folk Victorian cottage is a great example of local craftsmanship being applied to a simple central hallway form. That it has survived so largely intact is a testament to the work, in my opinion. [The photograph dates to 2015 but the house was still standing when I went through Bowersville a couple of years ago].

Bowersville saw its commercial peak between the 1880s and 1910s and S. T. Fleming’s was likely the busiest store in town. The second floor of the mercantile was the Masonic Lodge. The smaller building to the right was built by Fleming in 1907 for use by another business.
