Inscription. The property at 163 Main Street was originally part of a section of land confiscated from British Loyalists. The lot contained the City Hotel which was a well known hostelry. After a fire destroyed the City Hotel, the lot was subdivided and in 1903 a commercial building was constructed. The blending of several styles has resulted in an architectural anomaly along Main Street. The building was owned by the Pappas family until 1980 when the current owners Peter and Helen Palaigos acquired it and for many years it was operated as Brunswick Billiard Hall.
