Caledonian Hotel
Corner of Bowman and Point St, 1880.
One of the most interesting people to live there was Johnny Bear, an oral poet who never learned to spell. He put on shows with puppets and props, and was obviously a gifted man who didn’t really fit into the everyday commercial world.’ Martin Edmond, Chronicle of the Unsung. Now renovated as two spacious houses.
