Canada Malting Silos, Montreal
Canadian Malting Silos is an abandoned malting factory located along the Lachine Canal in Montreal's Saint-Henri neighborhood in Quebec, Canada.
==Description==
The Canada Malting complex was designed by David Jerome Spence, and was built in 1904. On the west side of the complex there are nine violet colored silos. They are covered in treated clay tiles that were manufactured by the Barnett and Record Co. of Minneapolis. These silos are rare examples of using this technique to cover and insulate silos. The cement silos on the other side were added in the 1940s, and were used to store the barley used to produce the malt. The barley was germinated and dried in the buildings that lined Saint-Ambroise Street. The factory had an enormous output of of malt per year, and distributed it to distilleries and breweries.〔 The closing of the Lachine Canal in 1970 forced the company to transport its malt by train only, and around 1980, the building was actually too small and the transportation costs too high, so the company abandoned the site and moved into a new malting complex located at 205 Riverside and Mill Street, Montreal.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://canadamalting.com/our-locations )〕 The building was then sold for $500,000 and became a soya and corn storage facility for Quonta Holding Ltd, before it was abandoned in 1989 when Canadian National ceased its rail line service to factories in this area of the canal.〔 The ancient clay silos are now protected as part of the Lachine Canal National Historic Site. They have been so battered from both the elements and vandalism, that it is no longer possible to restore them.〔
Since being abandoned in 1989, the factory has been covered in graffiti on the outside as well as the inside of the building. Several videos posted to YouTube have captured footage of the inside and rooftops of the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Encore l'osti de malting )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVdykqlt1-M )〕 An article written by Bernard Lamarche in Le Devoir in May, 2005, described the interior of the building as being in a state of deep disrepair. Lamarche described the building having a pungent smell, with empty cans of spray paint and broken glass littering the floors.〔
