In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.
Ottawa’s flood lime kiln — an oven or furnace — is one of the few remaining examples of a 19th century industrial lime kiln in Canada, according to the National Capital Commission. In the 1800s, most people used lime as fertilizer, or to lay bricks and plaster walls. Like many kilns, the Ottawa-area lime kiln built by Francis Flood went out of business in 1906 as more people started using cement. The kiln was forgotten, then rediscovered in the 1970s and restored in 1999. Hikers can see it along the Stony Swamp trail.
