La mise en valeur d’un groupe de pilots de bois à l’aide d’un support en acier

André Bergeron, Gaston Trépanier, Alain Vandal, Louise Pothier, Sophie Limoges

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.
