Advertisement for the Bond Head Hotel. It was built on the corner of 88 and Old Essa Road (Hwy 88 and Hwy 27 today) in 1844 by James Banting. Samuel Manning owned the Hotel from ca. 1857 to 1873. In its time, it was known as the Manning House, the Queens Hotel, and the Bond Head Hotel. The original building burned down in 1892, and was rebuild as a brick structure, but no longer served as a hostelry.

The Brazill House later took over the name "Bond Head Hotel."
