In 1908 Fletcher Brothers was located at 1231 Government Street, in a building which is still standing but which is now numbered 1223-1233 Government Street.

This commercial building at 1223-1227 and 1233 Government Street was likely built in the late 19th century. It is currently home to Roots (1227 Government) and Sasquatch Trading (1233 Government)
