Introduction Guest Speaker and Guests / Our guest speaker tonight is Jeff Feswick, Owner of Historia Restoration Inc., specializing in historic and commercial building restoration and renovations, it is an award winning company serving the GTA. In 2010 Jeff purchased the historic Treble Hall Building on John St and has restored it to its former glory. He has a café and shop called the Moulin Rouge downstairs and plans to further renovate the inside 2nd floor to a large room for banquets and weddings. Jeff is passionate about keeping our heritage and working with existing buildings. He took us on a virtual tour of our downtown and many were surprised how beautiful it really is. He has opened our eyes and senses and our appreciation of what we have in Hamilton and we should be proud.
