The Gair Company of Canada Ltd. was the original owner of this munitions factory, located at 6530 -6574B Waverly and Beaubien and is a unique representation of a structure composed of sawtooth roofs, clerestories as well as incorporating heavy timber beams. The building’s unique architectural example of a different era represents a patrimony which requires protection. The old Gair building is also of significance because it recounts the important contributions of those women who worked there to support Canada’s war effort. It is part of Marconi-Alexandra’s unique industrial personality, now under threat due to gentrification. This rare building should become an integral part of our community and heritage. A full study of its historical value needs to be undertaken seriously as soon as possible.
