BASS
RIVER GARAGE
Bass River’s first garage was built by Vic Campbell and Ern McLellan in
1923 on land purchased from Scott Fulton. They operated it jointly for one year
when Ern sold his interest to Vic and went to work for Dominion Chair Company.
Vic continued in business until October, 1926, when he sold to Douglas MacKenzie.
Doug MacKenzie operated the business for about two years when the
building was destroyed by fire. Doug rebuilt on the same site and later rented
the business to Con Morris. About a year and a half later this garage was
destroyed by fire.
Con Morris built a new garage - the one operating in 2001 - just west of
the site of the first two garages. He operated it until 1936 when he sold the
business to Harry K. Fulton. The above information was taken from History of Bass River and from information given by Charles Campbell.
