1887
Three identical Romanesque Revival lofts rise at 13, 15 and 17 Jay Street
In 1887 D. & J. Jardine designed three matching five-story store and loft buildings on Jay Street under a single new-building application. John Castree developed Nos. 13 and 15, while Alexander Halliday developed No. 17. No. 15 keeps its original cast-iron piers, pressed-metal cornice and most of its old wood-sash windows.
“…constructed in 1887 under the same New Building Application as the identical buildings at 13 and 17 Jay Streets.”

Flavoring-extract makers give way to dairy wholesalers at 15 Jay Street
Early in the twentieth century the Fred Fear Company made flavoring extracts at 15 Jay Street. By 1920 the building was a butter, cheese and egg warehouse. The Fairmont Creamery leased it in 1932 and the Arrow Dairy Company in 1946, both for similar dairy purposes.
