| 説明 | Albert Island -- Central Stores Building (buildings 542 and 543). On this misty day the Central Stores building on Albert Island appeared almost ethereal. As this area is currently under considerable redevelopment, it was nice to not only see it, but to photograph it, while it is currently in its present form.—“The Central Stores building (shown here) was built by J. R. Booth on Albert Island shortly after the great fire of 1900, which destroyed all his properties located on the island. After the fire of 1900, Booth began to diversify his operations and began construction of factories for the production of pulp and paper. However, he maintains his timber production into the 1920s. He very quickly started constructing the buildings necessary for the rebuilding of his business. The Central Stores building (buildings 542-543) appears to have been constructed in two steps. The first section of this building, on the east side, has four storeys and served as a warehouse. The second section of the building, divided into three parts, includes: a painting workshop, a harness workshop, a carpentry workshop, a room for drawing, a forge, a mechanical workshop, and warehouse. Much of this section of the building was used as a forge. Before the years 1938-1940, there were as many as sixteen forges and blacksmiths working there. The Central Stores building was also built to serve service activities essential to the operation of a site occupied by paper mills and sawmills. It served several functions: storage, forges, machine shop and workshop. As such, it is a service building that has been associated with various and numerous activities associated with the timber industry and the pulp and paper industry occurring on the site. The building belonged to the J. R. Booth Company until 1946, and then the E. B. Eddy Company until 1998. Subsequently, the building became the property of Domtar who use it as a warehouse. Today, Albert Island is rapidly being converted into a mixed-use residential and commercial neighbourhood, part of the Zibi development project. The Zibi project is one of Ottawa’s largest urban redevelopment projects in recent memory. This unique project on the 37-acre former Domtar site, which includes land on Chaudière and Albert Islands, and therefore spans both the City of Ottawa and the City of Gatineau, will include residential, commercial, and communal elements.”Source: Barry Padolsky Associates Inc.
