- Description
- As well as the "contact sheet" side of the blue card which shows all photographs taken by Parks Canada at their visit, 3 photographs of the building are included in this record.
The building housed the Trans-Canada Life-Ware company at time of photographing by Parks Canada. They estimated it to have been built in 1870..
Trans-Canada Life-Ware was incorporated in 1959, dissolved in 1997. The company was started by George B. Mills of Oakville and Alvin W. Thomas of Waterdown. The company holds a patent for an electric frying pan that provides superior connectivity with the heating element. - Notes
- In December 1971, January 1972, Parks Canada photographed those buildings that were 100 or more years old. This Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings was a Centennial Project.
The Trafalgar Township Historical Society has worked with Parks Canada and Library and Archives Canada to find these photographs in the area of Trafalgar Township and the city of Oakville, Ontario. The collection will grow as we have time to collect and prepare the images.
The TTHS is also sending the images to the Town of Oakville Heritage Planners to increase local availability and to ensure local preservation.
Each TTHS internet record will show the back of the identifying information card first. This is to prevent any errors in reading the handwritten address held up on a clipboard for each address - we have noted that sometimes the address number is illegible or incorrect.
At the top of each TTHS record, you will find "pages" to click on to view the various photographs.
All TTHS records in this collection can be found in one step by clicking on the "Groups" link on the right of your screen, "Parks Canada. Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings, 1970-1972. Trafalgar Township & Oakville." - Inscriptions
