In 1935 the Chadder family bought the building and buâ€" ‘‘We‘ve done a complete redecoration of the ground floor including the dining room (Ivy‘s) and the bar siness and reâ€"opened it as the Hotel Waterloo. The threeâ€"starey building, situated on a 67 by 265 foot lot, has undergone a compleâ€" te interior and exterior reâ€" decoration. New washrooms were needed to accompany the reâ€" vamped lounge and the kitâ€" chen had to be renovated and enlarged to help cope with the crowds they atâ€" ‘tracted to Ivy‘s. The owners plan to sandbâ€" last the exterior of the buildâ€" ing and use a special sealant to protect the bricks. The wood trim will be painted a contrasting brown. Canopies have been installed over the three entrances. The upstairs beverage room has been renovated and turned into a fullyâ€" licensed lounge. > The owners‘ objective is to upgrade the facility withâ€" out destroying it‘s old flaâ€" vor, according to Long. The Waterioo House is pictured here around the turn of the century. Then called the Zimmerman House, it was a focal point for gatherings in Waterloo.

Long said he doesn‘t know why Kitchener‘s Walper Hotel has floundered so badly while the Waterloo House has done so well. He believes / the success of the Waterioo establishment is due to several reasons.

"If you give people what they want or what the marâ€" ket demands, people are going to come. If you don‘t, you won‘t get any business," Long said. At one time there were rumors of a Torontoâ€"based group taking over, or conâ€" verting the facility into a disco bar. Long said this simply wasn‘t true. ‘"I‘m a small town boy, and I want to keep things much as they are,"‘ he said.
