Maguire obtained several pieces of property in the vicinity, including one immediately south of the current intersection.
In 1884, Todd opened a general store on the south-east corner, also during this period, John Ryan operated a blacksmith business nearby.
During the 1940s, John Hotson built and operated a machine repair shop on the west side of Maguire Road, south of the intersection, opposite the former site of the general store.
The remaining structure currently on that location, is not the original Hotson's machine shop, but rather a former church out building relocated from Crediton, Ontario which is now used as a barn.
Farther to the south at Ebenezer Cemetery, William and Elizabeth Maguire and Alexander Todd are at rest.
