               A History of Our Store              

 

 

The house which stands on the corner of North Archibald and Miles Street has an elegant and eclectic feel. George and Sarah Coo purchased the property from John McKellar, who was the first mayor of Fort William. The house was built in 1898 and the Coo family lived in the residence until 1952.

As the Coo building occupies a prominent street corner, it has become one of Thunder Bay's most recognizable landmarks. The façade of the building is protected from alterations under the Ontario Heritage Act, and the building now welcomes discriminating shoppers and brides through her doors.

The ‘gingerbread house’ atmosphere and eclectic architectural style lends itself well as the home for Elegant Impressions. In this beautiful shop you'll find timeless giftware, extraordinary seasonal decor, and impeccable wedding services.

Lifetime Thunder Bay resident Cathy McCauley established Elegant Impressions in 1997 and has designed almost one thousand events. The store itself changes with each season and is always full of indispensable items.
