William Ruttle built the Royal Hotel in 1891. It faced Front Street North, on the corner of Second Avenue South. William Ruttle had made entry on a homestead under the York Farmers Colonization Company on May 30, 1887. Some pioneers who took up land, also decided to become businessmen. This hotel was later owned by Harry Bronfman and managed by Barney Aaron, his brother –in-law to be, who married Laura Bronfman. Bronfman tore it down in 1918, with dreams of building a more elaborate hotel.
