Child’s Commercial Hotel was situated on the corner of The Square and Main Street West. This building replaced the original hotel, built in 1882 and burnt down in 1900. It was demolished in 1935 to be replaced by a third Commercial Hotel, which in turn was demolished in May - June 1986. The site currently houses the House of Travel (2020).
