The Oshawa House was constructed sometime around 1838 in the Italianate architectural style. The inn, which had been described in 1844 as the best tavern between Toronto and Kingston, was a multi-purpose facility. A large meeting hall was located on the second floor of the two-story section, just off Centre Street. This hall served as the meeting place many local groups, as well as a place for public speaking events. The Manchester of Canada, published in 1898, the Oshawa House hotel had 40 well-furnished bedrooms as well as being lighted throughout with electricity. At this time, the rate for a room was $1.00 but a special rate could be arranged by the week. By the 1920s the hotel gradually declined and the Oshawa House as converted to apartments with stores on the street level.
