Then and Now…

Throughout the Downtown BIA, many buildings tell stories of transformation and tenacity, from the John White Building, built in 1913 as Woodstock’s first electrified department store and now home to the Woodstock Art Gallery.

The building that now houses the Woodstock Art Gallery is named after Lieutenant Colonel John White, a Scottish-born entrepreneur. After immigrating to Woodstock in 1860, White, along with his brother George, established their first dry goods store at the corner of Dundas and Riddell streets.

The firm marked a century of business in Woodstock in 1960. Though the store was sold to Walkers the following year, John White’s legacy lives on, both the building and the alleyway behind it continue to bear his name.

From its early settlement in 1800, Woodstock has grown in character, charm and architectural heritage.

Evolved from an early milling and agricultural center to an "Industrial City" by 1901, featuring large furniture, organ, and wagon factories

Our BIA offices themselves stand on ground once buzzing with promise and community life, a reminder that today’s businesses walk in the footsteps of many who built this place before us.

As we grow forward, we remain grateful to roots, to reimagined spaces, and to the individuals who laid the foundations for the vibrant downtown we share today.

Today we pause to remember. To all who served and continue to serve: thank you. Lest we forget. ”
