It was back in the mid-1990s when Stan Fry and Cy Gregg bought their first properties in downtown Peterborough.
“At that time, the downtown sector was not particularly attractive,” Gregg said.
The first section included the properties along the Nubanusit Brook, currently occupied by businesses like Knitty Gritty Yarn Shop, Anytime Apparel and Bowerbird & Friends, and what would eventually become Twelve Pine.
“We just looked at it and said there’s some real possibilities here,” Gregg said.
Over the years, they have added more properties – the building that houses Fry Fine Art and European Esthetics, the Granite Block and Steele’s Stationers building and the other locations that make up Depot Square, like the Hobbs Jewelers building, as well as what is known as the bank building at 45 Main Street.
