"The 380 Brant Street building was previously the Burlington Hotel, the Hotel Raymond, the Coronation Sports Bar, the Landmark Steakhouse and now SB Prime.

Deeply rooted in Burlington's history, the Downtown building has changed owners and names over the years. 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." -Emshih.com
