La mise en valeur d’un groupe de pilots de bois à l’aide d’un support en acier
The remains of the Royal Insurance Company building, dating from 1861, were unearthed during archaeological digs in 1989-91, on the construction site of Pointe-à-Callière, the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History. The building had a clock tower that rested on wooden pilings. These were recovered during the dig, treated and kept in a storage area for later use. In 2007, a simple and completely reversible mount system was produced in order to display the wooden pilings at Pointe-à-Callière museum.
