The Powerhouse at Stoney Creek, formerly a historic industrial facility, has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1890s. Originally built as Power station, the powerhouse played a vital role in providing power to the rail lines.
Over the years, the powerhouse witnessed significant changes in technology and industrial practices. Its sturdy structure and prime location along Stoney Creek made it a focal point of the local economy. However, with the decline of railroads as the automobile dominated transportation, the powerhouse fell into disuse.
A visionary entrepreneur recognized the potential of the powerhouse's unique architecture and location, transforming it into The Powerhouse restaurant. Through meticulous restoration and renovation efforts, the building retained its historic charm while adapting to its new role as a dining establishment.
Today, The Powerhouse at Stoney Creek stands as a testament to the region's industrial heritage, serving not only as a popular dining destination but also as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the community. Its blend of history, ambiance, and culinary excellence makes it a beloved landmark for locals and visitors alike.
The Fox Theatre, located at Stony Creek, Ontario, had a notable yet brief existence in the mid-20th century. It opened its doors to the public on October 20, 1952, and operated until 1965. During its 13 years of operation, the Fox Theatre was under the ownership of Better Theatres Ltd., a company involved in managing several cinema venues during that era.
In summary, the Fox Theatre at Stony Creek, although operational for a relatively short period, played an essential role in the local cultural landscape. Its legacy continues through the Royal Canadian Legion, maintaining the spirit of community and service in the same location.

Cool restaurant! Not much left of the theater. How do Canadians feel about having the Union Jack in stone at the battlefield monument?
😁 Union Jack is everywhere here. Right now our flag of Ontario has both the Union Jack and our Coat of Arms with its Cross of St. George, the patron saint of England, is an affront to millions of Ontarians born in the province or who have immigrated from somewhere other than Britain😁
@@haihaitraveler And in the past I remember the Queen of England on the money. If I were Candian, I would want to cut the ties to the past and have a new Canada without all the Imperial symbols.
