Regarding Echo Hall 1850. This was designated a heritage property based on its age and association with Charles Edward Woolverton (born 1820), the horticulturalist that planted one of the first peach orchards in Grimsby. Edgar Judson Woolverton (born 1841) also lived here; he was a pioneer in the fruit industry. In addition to his own orchards, Woolverton focused on marketing Niagara fruit and was president of the Niagara District Fruit Growers Stock company, the main marketing vehicle for fruit from the district.
