Ditches and natural streams on the island served to discharge waste into the St. Lawrence River. In response to record floods in 1886, the Corporation de Montr\u00e9al started construction of three major works: the Saint-Gabriel Dyke, in Point-Saint-Charles, and the Craig and Riverside pumping stations. The pumping stations were built by architects Maurice Perrault and Albert Mesnard in 1887.<\/p>\n<p>Located at the eastern and western-most ends of the newly constructed sewer network, these stations pumped the excess water into a collecting sewer that emptied into the river. These installations, combined with the dredging of the river and the subsequent construction of the Seaway, protected the neighbourhoods in the area from spring flooding.<\/p>\n<p>The Riverside Pumping Station became operational in 1888-1889 and remained so until the end of the 1980s, after which it fell into disuse until the arrival of the Forges de Montr\u00e9al in 2000. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"mb-4 mb-md-0 offset-sm-1 col-sm-10 offset-md-1 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"single-big-col\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-lg-8 offset-lg-2 col-xl-6 offset-xl-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"media-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"media\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5j631fzEH_E\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text quote\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3 col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<q class=\"quote\">&#8220;Being accompanied really is the key in successfully converting a building and giving it a new vocation, a new lease on life&#8221;<\/q>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<small class=\"author\">Catherine Charron, co-director, Forges de Montr\u00e9al<\/small>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Issues, requalification and development<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>While the steam pumps used to evacuate the water have now been removed, the building still has terrific heritage value, as does the Craig Station, since its original architectural features remain essentially intact, endowing it with a high degree of authenticity and providing a wonderful example of late 19th-century industrial architecture. It is also one of the rare examples of architecture dedicated to public service by Perrault and Mesnard, who were better known for their institutional and religious architecture.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 2000s, the Forges de Montr\u00e9al, a non-profit organization, and its founder, Mathieu Collette, sought to restore and rehabilitate the pumping station with the goal of inventorying, safeguarding, disseminating and retransmitting traditional blacksmithing knowhow and trades.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, after 16 years of hard work and private investment by the founders of the Forges de Montr\u00e9al, their presence in the building came into question when they were served an eviction notice by the City of Montreal. And yet their use of the building was valuable on many levels: the value of the contemporary use of the site by the Forges de Montr\u00e9al is a great example of adapted rehabilitation and a use consistent with the architectural value of the building; and socially valuable, given that the Forges de Montr\u00e9al constitutes a reference point and a meeting place for a large swathe of the international blacksmithing community, bringing new life and value to the site.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the Forges de Montr\u00e9al in the former Riverside Pumping Station therefore contributes to enhancing the heritage value of the site, by bringing social and vocational value to its existing architectural, environmental and documentary importance. This initiative also enriches the Montreal territory by contributing a unique conservation approach that combines tangible and intangible heritage.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the City of Montreal recognized the intangible cultural heritage of the traditional forge. Moreover, in 2020, the lease between the Forges de Montr\u00e9al and the City was confirmed and adapted in order to take into account the financial capacity of forges and the building\u2019s future preservation needs\u2014thereby fully acknowledging the importance of traditional forging practices in the history of Montreal, which date back to the era of New France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"three-col-text-cards type-3\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cards-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"big\">1887<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Year of construction of the Riverside pumping station<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"big\">2000<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">The Forges de Montr\u00e9al move into the Riverside pumping station<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"big\">2019<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Year of recognition of the traditional forge as cultural heritage by the City of Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Integration with the surrounding area<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Once located in the heart of a working-class neighbourhood that has since disappeared, the Riverside Pumping Station is situated in the heart of an industrial complex and diverse road infrastructures, hemmed in by the Bickerdike Pier to the north and the Bonaventure Expressway to the south.
