Constructed
in 1890’s, what is now known as the Peerless Building
is actually comprised of five individual buildings. Located
at 229 Westminster Street at the corner of Union, the two most
prominent are the Callendar, McAuslan & Troup building
designed by Walker & Gould and The William H. Low Estate
building, designed by Martin & Hall architect. This cluster
of buildings which except for the Hannah Green Estate building
make up the entire block of Westminster between Eddy and Union
Streets. This block was famous for housing the largest and
most successful regional department stores until the 1980’s
when the Peerless store closed it doors.
