Photo of Albert Cheesman pumping gasoline from a Supertest pump into a car at Meadowbrook. Located on south half of lot 11, concession 14 of Innisfil (now Barrie), Albert built a storey-and-a-half building with a walk out basement, living quarters upstairs, restaurant and variety store on the main level, Supertest gas bar, and cabins to rent out to travelers. About 100 feet off of highway 11/Yonge Street he built a row of three smaller cabins along the north fence line and one large duplex cabin along the west fence line. The establishment was named Meadowbrook, and Albert along with wife Betty (née Bowman) and children Heather and Robert lived there - along with a pony and some chickens - until the business and property were sold in 1952 to Leonard Kearns.
