The Feed Mill or Grain Elevator, with what was to become the Co-operative building, and with the Hardware in front of that. The small hut was for general storage and has since been removed. Today the entrance is by a staircase into the Co-op, situated just behind the Hardware store. There is a ramp entrance on the other side of the building. There are now flowerbeds around the entrance and the Hardware store, making it an attractive approach.
All this complex is privately run, but the owners are very conscious of the Creamery Square concept and co-operate wherever possible, as it benefits all concerned.

The interior of the former Co-op looking toward what is now the entrance, created on the North side of the building. A series of small stores with old style facades together with 'period pieces' placed around the interior, have made an attractive, small Mall.

The stores change sometimes according to the rental - but in some cases the things for sale are made within the local area of the North Shore such as the Sea Glass jewelery shop, otherwise it is assorted items such as ladies ethnic clothing..........

A second room looking toward the interior entrance of the grain elevator. Here there is a refreshment bar for coffee and cold drinks, and a Charity 'used book' stall. At Halloween the building becomes a spooky, haunted house and at other times during the season, there is entertainment for the younger people in the village, with local music groups.
The grain elevator is not in use as yet, but perhaps one day, the owner will be able to run tours through it,
