Our community has rich history of successful innovation and wealth creation. This was once the home of Microsystems International (MIL), a subsidiary of Northern Telecom (Nortel) that that was shut down in 1974. At the time it was the main competitor of Intel, which eventually came to dominate the microprocessor marketplace. In fact, business was so robust for MIL for that production lines kept going long after the company was officially shut down.
Former employees Terry Mathews and Mike Cowpland, who left just months before MIL's demise, went on to form Mitel, which in-turn produced a myriad of spin offs including Corel and Newbridge. Much of the high technology industry in Kanata can attribute their roots to Nortel or MIL.
The building became another location for the rapidly expanding Bell-Northern Research(BNR or Big Nerd Ranch) in the late 1970s. I worked at that location for several years. Eventually, Nortel turned the building back into a semiconductor facility. With the demise of Nortel, the building is occupied by Abbot Labs.

Tourism and Cruise Ship Business was booming in 1980. Soon this would change, as the refineries caused environmental issues. The refineries would soon close down or sell out, and this also caused a decline in tourism.

From the NAR Library Archives: “The R. B. Whitaker Co. building in Winnetka, Illinois, is typical of the many similar ones which have appeared during the last decade throughout the nation. This building, done in Old English style, has considerable advertising value as well as the benefits which accrue from plenty of space for offices, sales conferences, reception of visitors, and for the “Photo-Tours” (Broker Bulletin, Dec. 1941, p. 22).
