The Four Corners of Ross The town is centered on the crossroads of Church and Bridge Streets with a field gun from the Boer War and a war memorial as a central part of the intersection. The crossroads area is humorously referred to as the Four Corners of Ross with each corner having a label: Temptation: the Man O Ross Hotel - established in 1835 by William Saddler. Recreation: Town Hall - where dances and other social events were often held, was originally part of the home of the Governor of the Prison. Salvation: Roman Catholic Church - Lack of funds prevented the establishment of a Roman Catholic Church in Ross until around 1920.The Catholics then raised the walls and added a tower to a stone store to convert it to a church. Damnation: now a private residence, but originally the town jail and police station.
