Aberdeen Pavilion - Ontario
The Aberdeen Pavilion known locally as the "Cattle Castle" was built in 1898 and is the last remaining Canadian example of a popular 19th century exhibition-hall style. The pavilion was built in 1898 to serve as the central hall for the Central Canada Exhibition. Designed by Moses C. Edey, it was inspired by London's Crystal Palace. It was named after Governor General Lord Aberdeen who presided over its opening. The structure was built by the Dominion Bridge Company, and took only two months and $75,000 to complete. The structure consists of a series of large steel arches holding up the roof. This allows for a large and column free interior space of some 3000 square metres (36,000 square feet).
