Flemming Buildings at Risk The demolition of the Caplan building has entered its second month and the last portions of the Rideau Street facade are coming down slowly so as not to rain bricks upon pedestrians on the street below. With the demolition of the Caplan building, Ottawa has lost one of the best examples of its 19th century commercial architecture. The next preservation battle will be the one to save the former Registry Office on Nicholas Street.

Of the scores of industrial, commercial, institutional and domestic buildings he designed, many survive, continuing to successfully fulfill their originally intended function. Taken together, they illustrate the evolution of mainstream architectural styles during the first half of the twentieth century. Rooted in tradition, they are well-crafted examples of the accepted norms of their time.

The people of Prescott have taken the first active step towards the commencement of this great undertaking. A large and respectable meeting of our townspeople, together with several gentleman from the surrounding country, was held at the Town Hall on Monday evening last, for the purpose of adopting measures for obtaining a survey of the route, procuring a charter, and completing the requisite preliminaries. Samuel Crane Esq. who we were glad to see takes a deep interest in this project, was called to the chair and John Patton, Esq. requested to set as Secretary. The chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting. Read Burritt, Esq. MPP opened the ball with some general operations upon the necessity that would exist, on the completion of the Ogdensburg Rail road, for an extension of the line from Prescott to By town, in order to enlite the trade of those two great provincial throughfares, the Ottawa and St Lawrence. The immense quantities of timber which in time will be required for the shipbuilding and other purposes of the Atlantic cities, will assuredly be drawn from the forests of the Ottawa and it was a matter not to be overlooked, and indeed the probability was very strong that on the repeal of the Navigation Laws, British and foreign shipowners would as a matter of economy, seek the banks of the St. Lawrence for the construction of the ocean ships.
