The building at 80, 82 and 84 Old Kingston Rd. in the Village of Pickering was originally a hotel known as Head's Hotel.
Records indicate that Head's Hotel, owned and operated by Peter Head, was in existence in 1850. Peter Head operated the hotel into the 1880s and was then succeeded by innkeepers Andrew Mason, Thomas Major and D. O'Conner.
