Cintec Reinforcement System Used to Repair John Sopinka Courthouse in Ontario
Located at 45 Main St E in Hamilton, Ontario, it was built in 1935 - but a half-century before that, a spectacular post office had been built on the same spot. It was an impressive red stone building featuring a clock tower and cornices. It was during the Depression when the Canadian government came up with the “Dominion Government Construction Programme of Recovery.”
They decided Hamilton would get a new post office, with space also for customs, marine, agriculture, immigration and tax offices. The original building was mostly demolished, and in September 1936, the new, $1.6 million Dominion Public Building opened to the public.
