Dumfries Insurance, 12 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, ON
Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Old-Galt-Histor...:
Dumfries Insurance at 12 Cambridge Street: Dumfries Insurance was organized in North Dumfries Township in May 1856 by a group of farmers who wanted to provide fire insurance at cost. Originally called North Dumfries and South Waterloo Farmer’s Mutual Fire Company, Dumfries Insurance is the oldest existing farm mutual in the province. The company held meetings in Roseville and then in Ayr. In 1892, the office moved to Galt.
Their present building is a good example of a sympathetic in scale commercial addition and renovation to an early stone building.
