Grand Central Hotel’s long life mirrored town’s changes
The Grand Central Hotel in Saltcoats, moved from its Main Street site to Russell, chased by a century of management shifts from J P Laycock to Mrs Laycock and beyond. It hosted dinners, clubs, and farmers gatherings, modernized through many owners, and is slated for a 1959 teardown with a new hotel rising on the former lot. The piece also notes Manitoba credit unions’ 21 years of growth and a provincewide October 16 proclamation.
