The Church of the Salvation Army was officially opened and dedicated at 114 Brock Street West in Uxbridge on September 26th 1964
In the late 1980’s the building was purchased and converted to a resturant.
Mad Millies Fish and Chips was located on the main floor and there was a barber shop located on the lower level. As you entered the building there was a sign pointing up the stairs for chips and pointing down for clips.

The above photo (taken around 40 years ago) shows the block of stores on the south side on Brock St west of Main Street. Back then from left to right: The El Lordon Tavern, Uxbridge Shoe Repair, Tim Harshaw Clothiers, possible The Deli. Notice the parking lot where the old TD Bank is not located. At the very right of the photo you can see the Commercial Hotel in its original location before it was moved to Main Street so Trinity Manor could be built.
