Brewers' Pavilion
Item
1 slide photograph.
Exterior view photograph. Aerial photograph of Brewers Pavilion (lot B-327) exterior. The one storey Brewers Pavilion and its circular plan elevation was reminiscent of a field of barrells - barrells of beer that is! The pavilion's exhibition space sat inside a rotunda and detailed the history of beer and beer making. A circular puppet theatre took children on a humour filled tour of Canada. In the largest rotunda "La Brasserie" restaurant served dishes made with beer instead of wine. Visitors enjoyed a terraced "beer garden" featuring 67 beer varieties. Interlocking cylinders. Concrete blocks and steel with cedar battens. Curved plexiglass windows (only in select places). (S: 100' x 75' --- A: 6000 sq. ft. --- H: 24')
