G.H. Yeaton Warehouse
From DARwiki
George H. Yeaton Warehouse Hantsport
Mile 38.5 on the Halifax Subdivision at Hantsport
- Wooden construction
- Two-story
- 3,800 barrel capacity[1]
This warehouse was built in the 1890s, as part of George H. Yeaton's large candy factory complex which operated on Station Street from the 1890s to 1941.[2]
The apple business was evidently a sideline of the Yeaton candy business and used a warehouse that was unique on the DAR.
