Fire Station No. 3
Designed by architect D. Jerome Spence (1873-1955), Fire Station No. 3 was constructed between 1913 – 1914 as a replacement for the former Fire Station No. 3 located at the intersection of Dalhousie and Wellington Streets. The station was one of many public and institutional buildings to be found along Ottawa Street at the time; these included schools, churches and community centres. Most buildings were demolished between 1960 and 1990 and this fire station, which was restored in 2008 and retains its function in the community, is one of the last vestiges of a time when Ottawa Street functioned as a main axis serving the residents of Griffintown (Ville de Montréal, Service de la mise en valeur du territoire et du patrimoine, Division patrimoine et toponymie, 2007). The building is considered to be of exceptional heritage value by the City of Montreal (Maître d’oeuvre de l’histoire, 2006 p. 123 -124).
