Experimental Farm: Building 95 - Integrated Project Dossier (2019)

Building 95 also known as the Small Dairy Barn of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum located at 901 Prince of Wales Dr, Ottawa is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building. It has both historic and architectural heritage value. Building 95 is closely associated with a government research project undertaken between 1910 and 1920. The aesthetically pleasing design of the barn is reminiscent of the “Wisconsin Barn” type of the mid-west United States popular at the end of the 19th century, the barn has a host of features that contribute to its heritage value and make it an interesting research project. Building 95 or informally known as Meadowview Barn is a small dairy farm located on 901 Prince of Wales Drive and a part of the Nepean Community. The Wisconsin style house is adjacent to the Agricultural Museum at the Central Experimental Farm National Historic Site of Canada in Ottawa. The building covers 2400 ft^2 and after many external and internal modifications, it has become a two-story rental space. Due to the fragile conditions of the building the function altered from a dairy farm to rental space for sheep shows and weddings. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2019.

95号楼又称加拿大农业与食品博物馆（Canada Agriculture and Food Museum）的小型奶牛谷仓，坐落于渥太华威尔士亲王大道901号，属于受认可的联邦历史遗产建筑，兼具历史与建筑遗产价值。该建筑与1910年至1920年间开展的一项政府研究项目联系紧密。其美学设计赏心悦目，让人联想起19世纪末美国中西部盛行的“威斯康星谷仓（Wisconsin Barn）”风格，诸多特色既赋予其遗产价值，也使其成为一项颇具研究意义的对象。95号楼的非正式称谓为“草甸景谷仓（Meadowview Barn）”，是位于威尔士亲王大道901号的小型奶牛农场，隶属于尼皮恩社区（Nepean Community）。这座威斯康星风格建筑毗邻加拿大国家历史遗址中央实验农场内的农业博物馆。该建筑占地面积达2400平方英尺（ft²），历经多次内外改造后，现已成为一处两层楼的租赁场地。鉴于建筑本体状况脆弱，其功能已从奶牛农场调整为可承办绵羊展示活动与婚礼的租赁空间。本整合项目卷宗由卡尔顿大学（Carleton University）建筑保护与可持续发展项目（Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program）的本科生团队（工程师与建筑师），为2019年开设的CIVE3207（ARCN4100）历史遗址记录与评估课程编制完成。
