Summary edit

Description
English: Joseph Lister Jr. (1823-1892) opened a dry goods store on the northeast corner of James Street North and King William Street on land owned by his father. It expanded rapidly and in 1852 he constructed a four-storey limestone building on the site. It was one of the most up to date structures in the city as it had a separate heating plant, elevators and an interior designed for commercial enterprises. With the opening of the Great Western Railway the prime location of Lister’s building made it an ideal location for many prime tenants. By late 1922 the Lister Block had more than 150 tenants and a newly completed shopping arcade. There were 20 stores, more than 100 offices and several private residential apartments.
