.The Duncan-McPhee Building's original two-storey stone shop was built in 1853 on a site purchased in 1836 from the Canada Company. Stove-dealer and tinsmith John Catchpole conducted his trade in the building until 1861, when Guelph's first mayor George Howard acquired the business. In 1864 the building's stone corner block was built, adjoining the original shop. located at the prominent downtown intersection of Quebec and Norfolk Streets and restored them to their original character. With its curved corner, the architecture reflects a concern for the unique qualities of an unusually shaped site. The segmented arched windows are framed with large quarry-faced stoneblocks in relief against a background of dressed limestone laid in carefully-cut ashlar courses.

. Quebec Street, 1 & Norfolk Street, 99-101, Guelph. Duncan McPhee Building: Pt Lot 86, Plan 8,
Designated Portions: The limestone facades facing Quebec St. to the north & facing Norfolk St, on the south-west, including window & door openings. At 1 Quebec St., it is permitted that compatible alterations may be made in the window & door locations at the ground floor or alterations which bring these windows & doors closer to the original design. The present Colonial store front design dates from 1954.
This two-storey, two-part building of local limestone is a distinguished example of mid-nineteenth century architecture in Guelph. The southern portion, (99 Norfolk Street) was built in 1853 by John Catchpole, tinsmith, grandson of Henry Catchpole who bought the land from the Canada Company in 1836. Tradition claims it to have been the first stone structure erected on Norfolk Street.

An impressive extension (1 Quebec Street) was added in 1864, at the corner of the property, by George Howard, Guelph’s mayor when the City was incorporated in 1879. The structure, built with superior cut-stone masonry & crowned with a handsome cornice & curved roof, has fine proportions & a gracefully curved corner façade. [2012].
In 1853, Tinsmith John Catchpole built what became the Duncan-McPhee building with its attractive mid-19th century masonry. A stone block on the corner was added more than a decade later, in 1864.
