PROFILE
“A New/Old Landmark at 380 Brant Street”*
The 380 Brant Street building was previously the Burlington Hotel, the Hotel Raymond, the Coronation Sports Bar and now the Landmark Steakhouse.
The Landmark Steakhouse at 380 Brant Street in Burlington, Ontario is one of the newest and oldest landmarks in Downtown Burlington. Deeply rooted in Burlington’s history, the Downtown building has changed owners and names over the years: the Burlington Hotel, the Hotel Raymond, the Coronation Sports Bar, and now The Landmark Steakhouse. For almost a century this former hotel, along with its neighbour, the Queens Hotel, originally the Zimmerman House, which also featured a two-level gallery offered a first-class resting-place for the weary traveler.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Truman bought the original Burlington Hotel some time after 1900, and it got its new name of Hotel Raymond some time after August 27, 1902, after a major renovation of the Burlington Hotel.
On February 21, 1912, the Trumans sold the Hotel Raymond business to Herbert Oakes of Hamilton. However, Art Truman continued to manage the hotel’s operation for at least 5 more years.
For 41 years, Mike Yurincich and his sons John and Dave were proprietors of the Corn, the Coronation Sports Bar and Grill, named to honour the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. In 1994, Emshih purchased the historic building and, after a complete renovation of the building, including the restoration of its second-storey, two-level verandah, the Landmark Steakhouse was opened to great success in September 2005. For nearly 150 years, this building has remained a Downtown Burlington Landmark.
