The Dawson Block building at 708 Queen St. East currently houses the Coch's Corner bar at street level, with additional space on the second floor. It received a municipal heritage designation in 1986. Rusnell declined to be interviewed for this story, but noted there are improvements planned for the historic building.
Built in 1894, it wasn't always a two-storey building. As noted on the historical plaque mounted on its outside, the building originally had a third storey and a mansard roof but the entire third floor was removed after a fire in 1953.
