Photo of the "Half Way House" Hotel, located on the northeast corner of Concession 4 and Highway 11. G. Timmons was the proprietor. The building was also known as the Churchill Hotel and Churchill House at various points in time. This photograph was published in The Witness with this caption "This old photo, provided through the courtesy of the Innisfil Document Centre, shows the building which probably gave the community of Churchill its name. During the 1850s, an innkeeper set up shop on the northeast corner of the intersection and hung out a sign reading, "Church Hill House." For many years the village name was Church Hill. The sign above the doorway in the photo, taken about 1906, reads, "Halfway House: G. Timmons, proprietor." Still extant today, the old hotel is a fine residence, the home of Ruth Terrell."
