The heritage value of the Pappas Building has been recognized by the City of Peterborough Bylaw # 05-194.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built in 1867 by George A. Cox, the Pappas Building is a significant contributor to the 19th century fabric of the downtown streetscape. The building continues the facades of three-storey, 19th century structures looking north on George Street.
It is an excellent representation of a Victorian commercial building. The three storey solid brick building displays the original fenestration set in recessed masonry panels. Details such as the elaborate hood moulding surrounding the 2nd and 3rd storey windows are intrinsic to its heritage character.
The Pappas building been operating as a billiard hall since the late 1930's and is currently the home of Pappas Billiards (2005). One of the earliest occupants was Adam Hall's Stove and Wrought Iron business, which occupied 407 George Street North for over thirty years.
