This site from the early settlement of the town was a butchery. The first proprietor was Robert Fraser from 1881, then his brother John Clingan Fraser from 1888. J C Fraser became a Shire Councillor and was Shire President 1886-1887.

W G Bennett - who had the butcher’s shop at 61-63 Sussex St - became the proprietor in 1895. Although his son George G Bennett operated the shop as G G Bennett Butchers from about 1896 he did not inherit the property until 1904.

The shop building was demolished in 1928 and replaced with the Bennett residence, the house that stands today. The butcher’s shop then moved temporarily into a shop next to the garage until it moved across the road in 1932 into what had been Joseph Shepherd’s grocery and hardware shop (74 Sussex St).

For many years up to the 1960s the front parlour of the Bennett residence was rented once or twice a week to the resident Skipton doctor as a surgery for Linton patients.
